Top 10 guys who will see a major plus-minus improvement
As mentioned in this column before, a lot of people choose to punt the plus-minus category when it comes to fantasy hockey.
The uncertainty of it from year to year is enough to drive some people insane. But while some people ignore plus-minus (even the Hockey News replaced it this year in their pool guide with Corsi close), it’s still a stat used in most hockey pools.
As usual, there were plenty of players last year who suffered through their worst plus-minus seasons of their careers. Many of them will rebound, and not just small amount. I'm talking significant increases, with all of the guys on this list increasing their plus-minus by as much as 20.
