All Time Plus/Minus Leaders?

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone here knew a site or link where I could see what the all time plus/minus numbers are in NHL history? I tried hockeydb.com, but that hasn't helped. All I know is that Bobby Orr was +120 something for one season, and that Larry Robinson was +700 something for his entire career. However, I don't have the exact stats or any kind of detailed list itself.

Single Season:

Bobby Orr +124

Larry Robinson +120

Wayne Gretzky +98

Career:

Larry Robinson +730

Bobby Orr +597

Ray Bourque +528

Lowest Single Season;

Bill Mikkelsson -82

Jack Lynch -69

Greg Joly -68

All three players played on the Washington Caps in 74-75.

Thanks for that. +124, now that's unbeilivable when you consider how the league's plus/minus leaders every year are around +45 or something. Who knows where Orr's all time plus/minus would be if he didn't retire so early.

The lowest single season is more impressive in my eyes. The fact that three guys, from the same team, from the same year could collectively be a -219 is insane.

It would be more insane if they were from different teams. if you are a player on a bad team, you will have a worse plus minus than a comparable player on a good team. A bad player on a bad team? well, that will lead to pretty bad plus minus. It's not unlikely that the three guys mentioned played quite a bit together; but more noticeable Washington scored 181 goals and gave up 446...a differential of -265. If you consider that the worst guys nowadays are around -20 or -30 with differentials of only -100 on their teams...well, then a -70 is not as bad as it seemed.
