I think +/- is the most important statistic in hockey. As such, both of the-players you mentioned and Lehtera join Schwartz in the top 20 league leaders in that statistic.....except that Schwartz has played 7 fewer games.

Yeah, I can find plenty of goal scorers to build a team around, and I can find plenty of good D as well.....you can't find 5 guys in the league who come to play every single shift and create scoring chances every time they are on the ice. Schwartz does. He gets my vote hands down.....again, he's the oil that runs the wheels.
