These are the 10 worst +/- players in the league:

Player Team GP G A P +/- TOI/G

Kris Draper DET 8 0 0 0 -6 11:46
Fabian Brunnstrom DAL 7 5 1 6 -6 13:18
Chris Phillips OTT 8 0 1 1 -6 21:44
Adrian Aucoin CGY 8 1 0 1 -6 15:43
Nick Foligno OTT 8 2 1 3 -6 13:54
Brent Sopel CHI 7 0 1 1 -6 15:14
Tom Preissing LAK 5 1 2 3 -6 18:29
Brett Lebda DET 8 0 0 0 -7 12:25
Andrew Murray CBJ 8 1 1 2 -7 13:55
Mathieu Schneider ATL 8 1 3 4 -8 23:21

How is it that Detroit is 6-1-1 and they have 2 players on this list. Talk about your teammates winning in spite of you. Good thing they are only averaging 12 minutes a game or they would be in real trouble.

On the flip side of minutes is Mathieu Schneider with 23:21 a game. He has 4 pts himself and is still -8 in 8 games. Maybe they should reconsider this guys 5.7 million in salary.

And everyones new Swedish phenom, Fabian Brunnstrom. In his 1rst game as a pro he scores a hat trick and is +2. Since then he is a -8 in the last 6 games. Talk about falling back to earth.

Schneider plays for Atlanta. No one blames him for anything, and for good reason. Lidstrom would finish a season in the - with that stink squad.

My guess is they are lighting it up on powerplay where /- does not count as a plus

Brian Campbell will be there by season's end. He's a liability.
