Player Discussion Trent Frederic II

[PB37]

All the tools and physical package to succeed and be a rare breed in today's NHL but he struggles with his internal motor.

Second he’s gone he’s going to be so much better

I wish Freddy would lose the "shit stirrer" bit. He absolutely sucks at it. Absolutely zero impact.

He needs to skate hard all the time, lay the body, and go to the net.

Pretty f***ing simple Freddy -- certainly not rocket science.

Yup I think it’s there for 20-20 & 5 fights

The next time he puts up 20 goals will be the first time he's ever put up 20 goals. He's also only had 20+ assists once, with the rest of his usual season being nowhere near 40 points. The 18 goal, 40 point year is an anomaly in his career. People here keep expecting more from him and think he's going to magically "get it" at some point. Newsflash for you Dan, he's been playing regularly for 5 seasons now. This is what he is.

I can live with less than stellar point production, provided he adds some spice to his game. He's showing less and less of it

They drafted him because of "intangibles" and so far those have shown up as him having a really low hockey IQ, IMO. What little spice he's provided basically has hurt the team with bad penalties in bad spots, or by getting his teammates hurt for his bullshit. I'm more than fine turning the page and never looking back. What he does is easily replaced by less costly players.

When he leaves he puts up 20-20

Maybe but what does the contract he gets look like? It would really come down to that for me.

He improved his production every season till this one which is strange because everyone else on the club are having a career year so far.

If any things an anomaly it's the start to 2024-25

Probably 4/20 or 4/18.

I’d be at 4 M for 4 years but he could get hot

Only if he goes to a bottom feeder like San Jose and gets 22 minutes a night on the first line and 1st PP unit.

How do you figure if he already put up 18 22 as a third liner with 13min a night and no PP time?

I was just having a poke at Dan, really. But in somewhat seriousness, I think that 18-22 was an outlier based on previous seasons and this season as well. 40 points is not his norm, and there's no indication as of now that it ever will be.
