Player Discussion Trent Frederic II

[FabulousLysell]

Figured they’d use Lazar somewhere.

Frederic-Studnicka-Lazar?

Send Wags' ass to Providence for the duration or try to ship him somewhere for a used skate sharpener, bring Senyshyn up as your 13th forward, and roll with the 4th line you describe with Seny rotating in and out as needed.

Great listen - Sweeney called his agent and told him to get Frederic to stop fighting so much in the AHL. Next day he calls him up to Boston.

Fantastic listen.... Freddy comes on 60mins in.

Interesting things about the room too.

I’ll have to tune in. Backes on the John Scott one was also interesting.

Said in passing that KMiller is the one guy on the team and in the league he wouldn't mess with - loved it

What is the news about Frederick, does he worked hard this summer like Studnicka to get faster, bigger stronger to dance with guys like Wilson, Reaves?

He can already dance with Wilson, but ya I haven’t really heard anything about him either since the exit interviews.

Mediocre game once again

Cant see Fred making a spot over Stud on the 4th line

I don't see anything special from Fred. He's just there. His camp was mediocre at best.

Reminds me of Backes when Backes was in his final years with Boston.

Some folk won't like the negative Fred discussion....lol

Hope we're wrong.

Trent Frederic isn't good.

Can someone tell me what he brings to the table, like seriously, what does he do?

He can smile, but fight? Ehhh…

If you look at his draft, he's a pretty good pick. 2016 NHL Entry Draft Picks at hockeydb.com

The 10 guys picked before him and the 10 guys picked after him are all waiver fodder, except DeBrincat (I happen to like Asplund too but he's no big deal).

Sam Steel and Kyrou are good too, but generally I agree.

DeBrincat was a hell of a miss for a LOT of teams, it wasn't just us. I was highly skeptical of him as well.

I take Frederic way ahead of Steel at this point. Steel is having a tough time holding onto a 4th line spot in Anaheim.

Just my opinion but bringing up ZS would be crazy. The guy cleared waivers for the second time and he belongs in the AHL, or Europe. He does not have a future with the Bruins.

Fourth line: Lazer-Nosek-Frederic. If Freddie can't get it going, bring in Wagner. Otherwise, Wagner as extra forward.

Similarly, don't mess with the third line.

Second C: Give Charlie "a long look." I like Coyle but I don't believe he's a 2C, and am concerned about his chemistry with Hall, or possible lack thereof. IF this founders, bring up Jack and see how that goes.

Then of course you'd have to find a place for Charlie...

 

[GordonHowe]

Kadri is not welcomed here by many including me.

Send along Rinaldo while you're at it. What a fabulous signing that was.

 

[GordonHowe]

If he can improve his skating he should be the 4th line center next year. For his career he's 51.7% on draws. Take out that small stint as a 21-year old and he's even better. Would of been 4th on the Bruins last year (behind 37, 46 and 52)?

On a side note.....Patrice Bergeron was an insane 62.2% last year. Surpassing his previous career high of 62.1% in 2012-12 (ironically another year he finished 2nd for the Selke).

What about Nosek? He's a proven player.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

the thing I've noticed with Freddy this year in preseason is that he's actually surprisingly good at carrying the puck in the neutral zone and executing zone entries, but once he gets it in the zone he seems lost and ends up losing the puck. It's funny because for a guy with his style you'd think the opposite would be true.

I see flashes from him that make me think he's a player, but then he has stretches where he does jack shit. I felt the same way about Jordan Caron so that's not saying much. Freddy's biggest leg up is that he has the balls to fight guys like Wilson, but if he never actually fights then what's the point?
