Tippett scored at a higher rate than Frost last season at 5x5: 2.31 v 1.77.
Maybe Frost was the boat anchor?
I was clearly talking about this season and how garbage Tippet looks so far.
The difference is when Tippett is struggling he's still out there trying to make things happen, hitting people, forcing turnovers, creating shot opportunities.
No, he barely provides any of those things. Mostly he just kills 90% of the offensive plays when he's on the ice this season.

It's early, but also not encouraging for someone they just signed for 8 years.

Frost as a middle 6 center is still pretty good for a 27th overall pick. He had some popping numbers in junior but often that doesn’t translate as lower leagues reward different styles of play. Watching Peter White in the AHL back in the day you’d think he’d provide something at the NHL level but nope

Frost is now only 1 point behind Farabee for 3rd place in scoring in the Torts era. In 12 fewer games.


Farabee has 11 more ESP, while Frost has 10 more PPP.

Well Farabee did get benched for almost a whole game last season after a shift Torts hated, but the bigger point is that Frost has produced at a decent level over 2+ seasons now. And this -12 start is not normal. Last season he was +4 and that was with playing plenty of PP and EN minutes where minuses can pile up, and getting no SH minutes where you get a plus if your score but not a minus if you concede.
