I agree that +/- alone isn't a great stat to use. But useless was too far.
Kadri was -17 and 2nd worst on the team. But data showed me throughout this discussion that he played well against elite players when Weegar or Andersson were on the ice. His minus -17 with a bump in the metrics tells a different story than a player who could be labeled poor in his own end or not good enough to match up with the nest players.
But -38 with a bump is still bad. But his numbers against the bottom-line guys were very bad.
