The deadline lately has shown that teams will overpay for a player. Been pretty shocked at some of the players getting a return of a 1st or 2nd round pick lately. Preferably I'd want a hockey trade of an NHL player coming to Boston. But more like a pick.

I mean maybe - if someone out there loves him. Im not confident he's seen as a "playoff piece" to clubs though and the playoff clubs would be the ones bidding. Hopefully, I'm wrong and someone ponies up.

Or they don't and he resigns at a discount to drive this place further off the deep end.

What does it say.

It says his lack of offensive production is torpedoing his trade value.

That’s not the only thing I should think. Being a ghost on the ice will do that too. Good to see you post something Joe - miss you being here

Again I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger fan club for a more mediocre Bruin in my 45 years of fandom

Would be nice if he listened to his coach.

“Freddy’s biggest thing is he’s got to continue to start moving his feet and continue to move his feet when he’s playing,” interim coach Joe Sacco said. “And he has to be physical. I think that’s a big component of his. When he’s playing hard in the defensive zone — if he’s battling below the goal line and has his assignments defensively, finishing his checks, being hard on pucks, those types of things — that’s when Freddy’s game elevates.”

Sounds like another Freddy hater!

Is 40 points as a 3rd liner last year not a breakout year? Like what is the expectation from him playing 3rd line mintues? 50 points? 60?

Well if last year was a break out year, shouldn't he still be in the same neighborhood as far as points/production ?

Have you seen the team this year- who's in the same neighborhood for pts/production? Their top two centers are on pace to come in under 40 pts for the year, Coyles at a sub 30 pt pace after putting up 60 last year.


He's struggling offensively for sure but the flak he gets in here is over the top while others who are payed and played in spots to produce fly waaayy under the radar.

Don't get the pearl clutchers up in arms about Frederic fighting Olivier, the horror!

 

[bme44]

I think saying Frederic has been one of the most disappointing Bruin's this season is something we can all agree on ??
DS and his agent need to determine now if he will be back next year. If they can not come to terms on an extension .
He need's to be traded now , before the dead line. What his value is, with how he has played this season ???????

My biggest fear is Freddy leaving as a free agent. If they are not going to sign him then trade him, get something for him.

Too many times we let guys walk wo compensation for the years of that players development.

Hate him or not he has value

I think Sweeney is trying to re-sign him, and hoping two things: 1) they can get to a number that Sweeney is comfortable with and 2) Trent gets his game back. Freddy probably does have some value league-wide, but it's dropping every day that he turns in meh to poor performances, which is most every game these days. If the Bruins get in the PO's, as GM you hope the guy ups his game, and if not, then you can re-sign him cheap in hopes that he returns to form going forward. If he won't sign cheap, you have to find a taker for a guy that is pricing himself above his value. Maybe you can? I can see him walking for free, and I don't think that means Sweeney did a bad thing, but it would be nice to get something for the guy- even a second rounder.

What is the value? A third round pick? Maybe , So someone with a 12 % chance of making it to the NHL in 2029? (and that % is probably too high)

Yeah, the return they "need" to get for him is tough to get all that excited about.

Why is that?

He isn't bringing a Jeannot haul, sadly. Maybe had they dealt him over the summer they could have gotten in that ballpark, but I also don't blame Sweeney for not moving him over the summer. I think he could bring a second rounder and maybe a prospect still. That to me would be selling low. Not exciting, I agree, but decent.
