I bet you could find this exact post, from the same poster, but about Ghost :laugh:

It's an embarrassment fetish. It must be.

It really is downright comical how often I've heard "you aren't pros, the Flyers are, I trust them."

And then it turns out the "pros" are worse at basic eval than a bunch of internet dorks.

And like I've said, this team will remain bad as long as they are worse at this than random internet dorks. And they clearly haven't improved.

Frost isn't a one-way player. In fact, on top of being their best playmaker, he's been among their best defensive players too.

You really just have no idea what you're talking about. This is like when you insisted that Hagg was better than Ghost with every single insinuation possible, while also lacking the courage to clearly go on record outright saying it. Remember that?

Ghost has clowned you and the Flyers. Frost did that last year when he shattered your vigorous insistence that he was a bust. He'll do it again.

I don't know which would be worse:

Briere and the others are too dumb to see Frosts ability
or
Briere and the others do see the ability, but they're too afraid of Torts to go against him

Either way this franchise is screwed and will remain screwed for a long time.

“Contrast that to I, who gives credit & compliments to even my least favorite players like Frost.”

Yes that is it. Don't try to develop a young player that has shown potential. PhD line. In Torts We Trust.

As fun as they are to watch, gotta cut back on those creative turnovers.

Question for all those on the board who seem flabbergasted that the Flyers don’t rate Frost as highly as they do:

What other player in the NHL do you think is the best comparable to Morgan Frost?

I’m trying to get a sense of how you value him.

Middle six center. It's that easy. If you are literate and have the cognitive power to maintain constant respiration that should be clear enough. You've been clearly and explicitly told by many people. I assume you're trolling at this point, because nobody can be this dumb on accident.

And as expected, you're leaning into an appeal to authority. Newsflash: the Flyers have gotten most evaluations of every aspect of the team wrong for years on end. They aren't an authority. Internet dorks who do this stuff on the side are better at it than them.

Give me a player. What other player in the NHL do you think most closely compares to Morgan Frost?

Morgan Frost. A middle six center who is a good playmaker, neutral-to-positive on defense.

So you can't even come up with one other NHL comparable for Morgan Frost. Somehow I'm not surprised.

I see some similarities in Perfetti

If people think Morgan Frost is the same caliber as Cole Perfetti, then I at least understand why they are upset at Frost sitting.

But it reinforces my belief that these people are severely overrating Morgan Frost.

Currently yes. Future no, Perfetti ceiling is a lot higher.

Frost ceiling is a 2 or 3C , exactly what the Flyers don’t have now or in the system.

Just think.

We have a C who the last 4 games has been on the ice for 6 goals against while 5vs5, and none scored(only player on team not to be on for a goal scored 5vs5).

We have another C who the last 4 games has been on the ice for no goals against while 5vs5 and 2 scored while creating TONS of chances for linemates. Gets scratched.

Torts scratches everyone they say

63.89 xGF wasn't enough to stay in the lineup, but 40.57 was.
