Talks about O'Sullivan from a fantasy hockey perspective

Patrick O’Sullivan’s five-point night Feb. 21 reinforces the notion the 23-year-old is destined for stardom. His value in keeper leagues is already quite high (just try trading for him), but by next season it will probably be too late.
O’Sullivan is one of the rare players with the ability to reach offensive production well into the 90s. It will be a few years before we see anything like that, but he looks like a prime candidate to break out next season with 70-plus points.
His role with the team is increasing. In the past 42 contests, the Kings forward has seen at least 17:30 of ice time in 40 of them. Prior to that, he saw that much ice on just five of 21 occasions. He is part of the top penalty-killing unit (averaging 2:45 of ice time per game when down a man) and has lately been on the first unit of the power play.
The savvy sophomore’s minus-10 rating may be of some concern, but he was a minus-5 after the first eight games of the season.
I've had him all year on my fantasy team, and even though my team is now known as THE SUCK, he has been carrying the team for the last few weeks (having 5 guys on IR will do that to you).
Funny how the article mentions his PK time and +/- but fails to connect the dots. When you get 2:45 PK time per game on the worst team in the league, a -10 is not of "concern." +/- ratings mean nothing unless you look at all the underlying factors.

GA on PK don't factor into +/- (as far as I know). Are there other dots I'm not connecting?

What are you trying to get at here?
A -10 on the worst defensive team in the NHL, for a player who has been in an offensive role for only half the season, on a team with the two worst goaltenders in the NHL, is pretty damn good, don't ya think?
Don't let stats fool you.
Brad Richards was a -25 or so coming into tonight, but on the Lightning still drew all the tough defensive assignments...do not let stats fool you.
Nice The Hockey News article on O'Sullivan
