More hits in 23 games than Tanev, Stone, and Andersson.
Despite having almost no offensive game to speak of, his +/- at the end of the year was Even. People #### on +/-, but for one-dimensional defensive D, it’s very helpful.

I don't understand why anyone completely disregards +/- when every stat to some degree is impacted by your linemates.
+/- being ignored is why so many predict the Oilers to win the cup every year. Draisaitl lead the playoffs in goals only playing 2 rounds and scoring over a goal a game yet they lost. He was -1. Not all on him but some is.
I thought Gilbert was a great 6/7 guy last year and never once thoughy "get this guy out of the lineup" once during the season
