2024-25 Roster Thread #2: Midseasonnar

[Adtar02]

We have one, maybe two (depending on the aging curve of Couts) parts of the center question solved, if one they would wake up and accept that. Frost is currently a rare (for the Flyers) case of a player actually living up to draft hopes, and their response is to hate him for it. It's wild.

It’s revisionist history. People forget and expect a player to be better. He’s been very good and exceeded what was expected defensively he is light years a head of what we thought. Yes he’s not a 1 c. He’s and 2-3c which is exactly where he should be. Having av shame Patrick into playing after a concussion is what set the organization back. Yes that’s what happened in fact after he seemed better av refused to take him to the bubble because he thought he was soft and not just being a whimp. Also didn’t help the franchise said it was migraines instead of realizing their life long problems with understand concussion systems.

Right! 2-3C was best case! We've done it! Celebrate by running him out of town!

It's Ghost all over again.

He's at least been decent since returning. Seeler on the other hand has been garbo this year. Shocker. Who could have guessed a career 7th dman was not a good option to sign a 4 year deal with

Edit: My favorite part of that video, because it's proven to be so eternally relevant, is "You fit a role we have not had in some time. You can play on the 3rd or 4th line"

The irony can literally blow your mind. Don't look too close.

I expect oilers to have a crazy penalty differential even more compounded by their pp%. Basically polar opposite of what we are used to from flyers

Not really, 23rd in penalty differential:

So annoying read people post dumb stuff.

Frost was drafted the same draft as Patrick. Who was supposed to slowly take over for coots as 1c. And frost was supposed to to be a skilled 3c who could grow into a 2c role as he matured in the league as coots slowed down. Frost is already better than his original expectations but he needs smart players with him. Complaining about center points in a torts system screams you don’t know what you are talking about.

If he's a smart playmaking center, he should make his wings better, not depend on his wings to make him better. He's played with top six wings for most of the last two years. His wings outscore him.

Frost was a late 1st rd pick, TK grossly exceeded expectations, Frost to a small extent, he's better than Laughton or Poehling, but he's still a 3C on a playoff team. Which is nice depth, but nothing to get excited about.

Jett will be better than Frost in a year or two.
They still need another top six center.
If they can package Frost with other assets to nail one under 25, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

He's routinely been the best player on his line and you insist he's the one being carried? Your agenda is showing.

Slackers. Schultzie would have had 295 PIM by himself at this point in the season.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Just a reminder that WE are the ones that overrate prospects.

 

[deadhead]

Frost isn't a prospect. He's a proven NHL player, but what he's proven to be is a 3C.
