C Morgan Frost (2017, 27th, PHI)

[KirkAlbuquerque]

I would have Hischier, Patrick, Heiskanen, Pettersson, Mittelstadt, Vilardi, Necas, Brannstrom, Valimaki, Liljegren, Thomas, Chytil and Tolvanen over Frost.

Not Glass?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Not Glass?

I didn’t list him

You think he dropped that much?

Not arguing, just curious to see why, I thought he was considered one of the top prospects from that draft still.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

You think he dropped that much?

He was overrrated to begin with. And I don’t think dropping 10 or so spots is all that bad. I think Andersson, Tippett, Rasmussen all dropped at least as much as Glass, and they aren’t bad players.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I’m glad that Hextall is making the Flyers a skill and skating team and going away from the old school stuff. Frost is a modern and up to date NHL style player and PHI can anticipate a bright future with him.

They were much more fun before.

 

[De Montreal]

I cant believe Philly is gonna produce yet another top 6 centreman.

Frost easily claimed the top spot in our SKATERS prospect poll. We're currently up to number nine.

1. Frost, Morgan - 84%
2. Myers, Phil - 80%
3. Farabee, Joel - 84%
4. O'Brien, Jay - 42%
5. Allison, Wade - 41%
6. Ratcliffe, Isaac - 61%
7. Morin, Sam - 39%
8. Rubtsov, German - 47%
9. Vorobyev, Mikhail - 86%

Not bad at all. Sam Morin is crashing, but I guess injuries will do that. Does Hart no longer qualify/goalies not allowed?

Either way, I hope Frost plays another year at the Soo.

Allison shot 28% last year!? WTF

The poll is skaters only, goalies are a seperate poll. Hart would have likely been chosen second if goaltenders were included.

It is strange how the flyers keep drafting top centermen, seemingly no matter where in the draft they pick.

Since 03 they have drafted Richards, Carter, Giroux, Couts, Patrick, and likely Frost, all of whom were top 6 centers, or at least trending in that direction.

Not bad considering only Patrick was taken in the top 5, and him and coots the only ones taken in the top 10.

Giroux was drafted as a RW though

We do goalies in a seperate list. If the lists were combined he'd probably be the consensus #1. Then Sandstrom and Ustimenko would probably slide in around ~12-16.

Plenty have Morin further down the list than 7th. The vote was split between Rubstov (~30%), Vorobyev (~30%) and Morin (~40%). There might be a little bit of 1st round bias. Both Morin and Rubstov get a little more leeway then others who might be more deserving.

I meant more churning out top six centers from the draft, but you are correct.

Big Sammy is still in the plans for the Flyers. He just got a sweet three year deal and is doing his rehab.

Yeah, Morin had a lost year due to injury, and was a questionable personnel decision away from starting with the Flyers last season.

The prospect list is skaters only, so no Hart. He is tops on all the recent all-prospect lists for the Flyers.

 

[HOPE]

man this kid is smooth.

 

[Curufinwe]

I edit my post to clairfy the polls are just for skaters right now. Goalies will have their own polls later, but I will do a Frost vs Hart runoff once the goalie polls are over.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

I'm surprised. I thought he was going to make the Flyers this year; not be one of the first ones cut. Interested to see how he performs this year in juniors.

Not physically ready in Hextall's eyes. He loves to slow cook them when possible.

Vorobyev is having a very good camp and likely made the decision to send Frost back an easier one.

Hextall also sends back Jr kids to their teams early since their season starts earlier....starts tomorrow for OHL. He has also said in the past he does not believe in the 9 game viewing either for the regular season.

Seems like Hextall already had it in mind that he was going to send him down. He would have had to been exceptionally good to even have a shot, likely even better than Konecny was when he made the team.

Frost was probably their 2nd best forward in the rookie game, then got 3rd/4th line minutes in a preseason game with linemates far below his skill level against the Islanders who dressed 70% of their starting lineup compared to the Flyers who dressed 30%.

It also didn't help that Vorobyev was having a very good camp and was essentially competing for a similar role.

 

[Sasso09]

I would have Hischier, Patrick, Heiskanen, Pettersson, Mittelstadt, Vilardi, Necas, Brannstrom, Valimaki, Liljegren, Thomas, Chytil and Tolvanen over Frost.

Definitely wouldn't take Chytil or Thomas over Frost. Liljegren is close. Agree with rest. Frost is a Giroux clone

 

[HyPnOtiK]

Pump the brakes. He’s barely top 20 in a redraft, which is a big compliment since 2017 has so many good prospects in the mid to late 1st round, and other risers who increased their stock with their draft+1 seasons.

Extremely easy top 15. More likely top 10 than out of top 20

Frost could be an impact player right now imo but Hexy wants him to develope a bit more physically. Vorobyev just made the decision easy with his incredible 200 ft game. Perfect fit for 3C

So where does he fit next year?
