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

Still useless in my mind.
I think it's great that Weegar can play with a guy like Hanley and get it done. Huge asset.
I'm not saying he's inferior to Andersson in any way.
Just pointed out
1) Most of the plus/minus five on five is due to a lack of finishing and not the defensive side of the game.
2) That Andersson plays more against elite players than Weegar.
