What does the +/- rating in the NHL mean?
In fantasy Hockey, there is a plus/minus rating catagory. I really don't know what this means. Do I want guys that have the highest POSSITIVE stat or a guy that has the the highest NEGATIVE stat? Thanks for any help with this.

Plus/minus is an ice hockey statistic that measures the team goal differential when a specific player is on the ice. A player's plus/minus is increased by one every time his team scores an even strength or shorthanded goal while he is on the ice. Whenever the team is scored against while at even strength or on a power play when the player is on the ice, his plus/minus is decreased by one. The statistic is sometimes called the plus/minus ratio even though it is a difference, not a ratio.

Mike Fisher, Ottawa Senators. He makes a boat load of money inspite of no longer having great scoring stats. each and every team interior the league might extremely like his sensible, quickly, aggressive variety of play - he kills effects, gets power play minutes and shuts down different communities suited gamers. Very underrated.
