technically but thats when qulaity of teams come into play it might work vs lesser teams more often giving it a +
but it might work negatively vs better teams but since u play both in the season it evens out
in the playoffs there is only good teams that play defense and are good at counter rushing ect ect much higher chance of negative effect then regular season
also regular season is 82 games he fucks up a game no big deal if u cost your team a game in best of 7 series that is a big deal becasue u got 6 games to win 4 not 81 other games to balance it out
subban is also a career +1 in the playoffs with carey price and halak that year he had that super run ... if thats a + effect id think he would be a much higher + like the +21 he was in the season or career +31 he has in reg season
#1 is a good point, but we don't have any way to prove whether or not it becomes more or less effective against better teams
#2 Goes back to my point about it not mattering if it costs you a game, as long as it wins you more games than it costs. On average, all that will matter is that it wins you more games. It won't matter if games are lost here and there regardless of the post-season
#3 Unless we're talking about a very specific context, I don't think +/- is very applicable. It's not a good stat to look at individually and on it's own, it has no value imo

subban is damn good but if he would fine tune his offense mentality a bit i would legit feel hes worth that 9m contract
Yeah at the end of the day a lot of it comes down to opinion
Unless we have 2 versions of Subban running simultaneously we can't say which is more effective in all scenarios with 100% certainty
9M is a fuckton when you compare it to someone like Karlsson, who may be even better offensively
