I'd wait until next season to see how Frost and Farabee are playing. The rest of this year is a wright-off for them, the same way I was willing to give Drysdale a mulligan on his poor play until all last season and started judging him based on his play this season.

Frost has to remember how to play real NHL hockey after years in this skill-crushing shithole. We've had numerous players leave and talk about how they basically have to rehabilitate their game after being here.

Farabee too, on top of rehabbing the neck. That surgery takes over a year to recover from.

You were saying?

I agree.

I mean, I'm not sure if using Torts as a philosophical guide on talent is the right approach, but he's definitely more right than wrong.

The players he's clashed with rarely go on to be sudden impact players afterwards.

Zuccarello became a great offensive player as soon as NY got rid of Torts.

Zuccarello became a great offensive player as soon as NY got rid of Torts.

I guess? He has one season of PPG+. The rest are good seasons, but doubt I’d call it great. Regardless, there is no such thing as being 100% right all the time. To expect as much is folly, even if we do acquiesce that Zuccarello is a great offensive player.
