How healthy of a return are we thinking here? Frederic is a bottom 6 player on an expiring deal. He definitely brings some grit but I can't imagine him fetching a ton. He only has 11 points in 32 games.
I think a lot of Blues fans (not necessarily you) are overrating Frederic quite a bit and I certainly wouldn't move any high-value assets for four months of him.

I think I’m afraid of that deal due to Tanner Jeannot’s first deal. He went for so much (effectively 2 firsts) at 25 with one 25 goal season. Frederic has two almost 20 goal seasons and can flex into the center slot.
I think maybe Boston has this one shot and they’re gonna maximize it for themselves. I’m not sure I want to do something like bolduc plus for him or whatever the ask would be, but that’s my guess. They’d want like more than a first and they’d also want something that impacts the nhl. Who knows tho. Always about what kind of market exists and how many folks want the player, what Boston actually covets.
If he were cheaper than that sign me up, but it feels like a deal a surging contender would make versus us.
