Player really well last game and has obviously been better under Keefe. I still trade him in a heartbeat, am glad his value has rebounded.
Most stats are made to measure something useful. +/- is useless for the very thing it is supposed to do. It includes multiples different sets of ice time (which have different expected stats) while excluding others, for no explained reason, which skews results and makes it far too impacted by role and usage, more than pretty much any other stat.
Which makes the fact that you're suddenly resorting to "but... but... context... usage... role" when you got proven wrong, one of the most ridiculous things I've seen. Not only was your original argument factoring in the worst, most sheltered usage for Barrie, but you yourself used the worst stat for context in the world.
It is. It is literally the worst stat we have, and it's useless for making any conclusions, especially the ones you are making.This makes no sense. +/- is not useless, when evaluated correctly.

The fact that this has to still be discussed in 2019 is beyond mind-boggling.
This shouldn't have to be explained, but I already did explain in my previous post. Just as I have explained everything to you multiple times. You just ignore it. You were factually wrong. Accept it and move on.LOL, you can't even explain why you think its useless. and you expect me to take your word for it...?
