I didn't compare Rasmus to Weegar...I used Bahl as Bahl was on the ice with Rasmus for 75% of Rasmus ES minutes. Can I assume that Bahl also played against elite players?

This actually disproves the accuracy of +/-, and shows how much luck is involved. Presumably regular D partners should have almost the same +/-. The goals for and against should be against the same pairing. But in this case they aren't, so why? Did Rasmus suddenly play worse whenever Bahl left the ice? Or maybe was Bahl always the first change and Rasmus got stuck at the end of shifts more often? Or maybe whenever there was a lineup change Rasmus got stuck with worse players than Bahl.
Anersson and Bahl had a corsi of 49.2% which ain't bad considering they were most often put up against the top lines. Bahl's Corsi was worse with every other partner except Weegar. Rasmus had better Corsi with Weegar too, but also Miromanov and Barrie.
