It'd be glorious
They chose two year contract in arbitration that ran him right to UFA and imo they undercut him in arbitration on the comps. He's paid his dues and then some in Boston. I'm hoping they've come around on him and lock him up long term.
Gotta sign him before he gets going IMO....I think he could approach 25 goals this year, 200 hits and 5-6 fights. Those guys write their own checks in UFA usually.
They've done it with Zacha, Carlo, and Gryz so it's not like they're wusses... but betting on your players could be a more lucrative move going forward
The bruins and Frederic never actually went to arb, they filed but came to an agreement before the meeting happened.
Frankvile to be exact a very small community about 20 miles outside of Antigonish. A town of about 7000 He is younger than me but I played fastball against him. He was never really one of the best hockey players his age growing up but could scrap and was determined to make it in the sport.
Good catch! Maybe they met in the middle less $ for the unrestricted free agency.
How I see it as well except I don’t think they will sign Johnson. They need all the money they can as to probably fit in Swayman they already need to trade someone. So Brown most likely will be the box guy.
Yeah. Wouldn't want a complete player. Good defensively, good skater, hits, fights, scores. Players like Frederic are becoming rarer. If you have one you don't trade him right before the playoffs, you do everything you can to resign him.
How did this happen ?
