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.

What about the breakdown of quality of teammate and who is on the ice when you play against elite talent. Just using ice time and plus minus here is another story.
Weegar & Rasmus both had 1575 ES Ice:
Backlund with Weegar - 410 mins with +8 702 mins without -3
Backlund with Rasmus - 531 mins with -8 581 mins without +13
Kadri & Weegar - 561 mins with +4 780 mins without -18
Kadri & Rasmus - 492 mins with -26 849 mins without +12
Frost & Weegar - 150 mins with -3 287 mins without -3
Frost & Rasmus - 154 mins with -4 282 mins without -2
Rooney & Weegar - 189 mins with -2 332 mins without -5
Rooney & Rasmus - 159 mins with -5 363 mins without -2
Weegar's #1 D partner was Hanley at 629 mins & #2 was Miromanov at 567 mins
Hanley with 629 mins +13
Hanley without 281 mins -2
Miromanov with 567 mins +6
Miromanov without 186 mins -4
So Weegar gets 2 waiver guys as a d partner and plays big mins with Backlund which more than likley is when he faced elite talent and they play much better together than Rasmus and Bahl did with Backlund. Bahl is a much better dman than the waiver guys?
So much for a useless stat
