He's tilting the ice in the bruins favor more then any other play on our roster rn, that's all those numbers mean. The team can't finish right now so it's not resulting in anything, but being first on the roster in CF%, xG%, and HDCF% means good things are happening when he's on the ice. And also means there is real logic to moving him up in the lineup.
I think it's good to find the silver-lining for the younger players. He's one of the better forwards entering the zone, he's disrupting passes, and backchecking well. He's doing the little things right which is a good sign. I'm not trying to pump his tires, but he has been one of the more consistent forwards for the Bruins this season in terms of play.
If I'm Sweeney, I look at moving Frederic or Geekie. It has to be for a player coming back in a trade though.
Not enough to move the needle for me. If you think Frederic is getting moved will solve all problems, then I suggest you watch the remainder of a very overrated roster, the problem with making it better is lack of competence in the management team, and the coaching staff, begin their first then move players off this roster.
Who do you think the Bruins should move? How many teams have fired their entire coaching staff and/or management team during the season? Trading Frederic is not going to solve all problems, but it's a wake up call to the other core players on the team that no one is safe.
I am trying to make a statement on how I feel about this situation, I understand that it would be unusual at this time to totally clean house, but I think you get my message and frustration. I do not want to make trades for picks and prospects, I want to make this roster better, if picks and prospects are gained in the process, that is fine. honestly like you I have players that I enjoy watching play, and some I don't, but at this stage, no one should be off the table, but just moving Fredrics move the needle enough, not sure it does, but it is a start..........this cannot go on.
I agree Wally.I know they want more scoring but that PK could use serious help too.

Probably because of your first sentence, maybe it is called panic time, desperation time, or what you said, overthinking.
They will unlikely trade Marchand, unless he requests a move. I Elias Petterson would be nice, but I don't see the benefit of moving Pasta, a Petterson, type center might be what the doctor ordered for Pasta. Matty Beniers, would make me happy, just another fantasy on my part. Bottom line, nothing gets done with that bloated E. Lindholm contract.
It's hilarious because a few weeks ago he did it with like 6 minutes left and they scored just as quickly, lol.
I’d get it if they were dominant at 6v5 but they clearly are not good at having the extra skater on the ice. Insanity.
Not like they are dominant at 5v5 either, you have to take the chance with the extra attacker
With 4 mins left. When this team hasn’t scored one 5v6 goal?I’d get it closer to 2 mins.
Not sure he is worth a 6th at this time?
