If your expected goals against and your actual goals against are very similar and your expected plus minus is only -2, then the issue is not scoring at the rate you're generating.
The xGF60 is an objective (but imperfect) stat that counts types of scoring chances and build expected goals based on historical averages. His expected was quite high but his actual quite low.

We will just disagree; I am not chasing +/- I just don't think it should discount when your +65 or -38. We rag on the Oiler players for 100 points being - players.
We can go back to the game threads and see many instances of Andersson what are you doing. The overall output matches him having a poor season, but that is ok as he tasked with a role that he is not suited for.
I think that is why a Parekh and Weegar top pair would be amazing. 2 guy who can skate and give each other outlets, and more importantly skate the puck out of the zone. This isn't a knock on Bahl he is going to be good on the 2nd or 3rd pair, I just think skating and puck handling is very important.
It is why Gio and Brodie clicked, and Brodie looked like he was replacement level with a bum like Hamonic.
