its a general measurement of the defensive awareness + offensive production of a player. Notice how Kovalchuk has a ton of points but is a - player, that means his team is scored on during hsi shifts more often than he scores. Lidstrom is a +9001 player because he's the best d-man in the game, having a great balance of defensive ability, power-play ability, and general scoring/playmaking ability.
for example, if a team loses 10-2 but players on the losing team are in the +, it means they usually dominated their shifts, not allowing the other team to score on them. This happened last week. Likewise, if a player on the winning team is a -, it means they suck shit, especially in a blowout like that.
