Player Discussion Trent Frederic II

[goldenblack]

Huh? I think you have things confused because my issue isn't discussing the players but rather some folks incessant need to take a premature victory lap based on a small sample. In the case of Korpi, it's been what 9 starts? In terms of Freddy, he's played 29 but people want to ignore the totality of his performance in favor of the last couple of weeks, Which is again, a small sample size.

Total ice time is the same order of magnitude, friend. You're choosing "games" as the measure. I'm choosing time they are playing NHL hockey.

Somehow for you, it's a sufficient amount of minutes for one, but not the other.

I think Ty Anderson mentioned it originally, but if you can still get a similar-ish Jeannot original trade haul for Freddy and hes not in your future plans- You definitely need to consider it.

Not sure he brings in a pick from like every single round of the draft like Jeannot, but I still think he has decent value, Maybe I need to take my Bruins glasses off though.

I know I am totally against seeing him walk for nothing though.

Nah, you’re splitting hairs trying to find an excuse.

So let’s cut to the chase. Has Freddy looked good to you this season? Has he played up to or above expectations?

Regardless of whether you’re talking games or toi, all I need is a yes or no from you.

And their weights?

O'Brien is listed at 213. 7 pounds less than Freddy. Jeannot is 208. Anderson is 218. Andreas Englund is 189. Trouba is 212. Goodrow is 202. Lemiux is 215, Mike Folingo is 195. Lane Pedersen is 192. Literally all the guys you mentioned as "big heavyweights" are dudes that weigh less than Freddy. And most of them by quite a lot.

While you like to make these claims, your assertations are certainly not backed up by the data.

He's a spot picker that typically goes after far smaller dudes. If he were on another team, you'd all universally loathe him for this type of bush league bullshit,

Mike Foligno? I think you mean his son Marcus, who's 226. Tanner Jeannot is listed at 220. Josh Anderson is 226. Some of the other weights you listed are wrong as well. Hockeydb is usually more current with the current players and wildly inaccurate with older retired players.

Also, weights go up and down all the time. For example, after Freddy broke into the league, they asked him to cut down on his weight. When he fought Lemieux, Freddy was 210. 220 is the most listed weight ive seen Frederic play at in his career, where hes normally 215 at the start of the year. I'd say most of these guys in this list are in Freddy's weight class with some of them being more experienced fighters who fight the heavies of the league ( Anderson, OBrien, Jeannot, Foligno ).
