GF% with Andersson OFF the ice: 1st - essentially meaning the Flames goal shares increased dramatically when he left the ice. Weegar was 7th which is obvious. 1st is worst in this case. 7th is best.
He was terrible by most metrics. Stop this. He was quantitatively and qualitatively the worst defender on the Flames this season adjusted for what's expected of him, his role and cap space. He's a massive F grade this year.

I said the same above.
He was last on the team in xGA60
But his plus minus is massively affected by the fact the team didn't finish when he was on the ice to the same degree as they created.
So if you're going to walk out plus/minus as the dagger it's pretty easy to dig in and see there's more to the story.
Then it goes back to prevention and having the toughest minutes and what that should mean. He's playing 15% more minutes against elite talent than weegar ... should his expected goals/60 be 15% higher?
Not sure to be honest ... it's not a simple equation.
But the plus minus discussion is pretty superficial when you dig in and look deeper.
