I agree. I think the question is "does Freddy provide more value to this team as a re-signed player or as trade chip"?
To me, based on the assumption that there is a gap in value perception between B's and Freddy AND it seems that other teams in the League value what he brings, I'd say the answer to that is trade.
Nothing against him, but unless he's going to bring the intensity most nights (a la Kastelic) what he brings now is not enough to offset what it seems we might be able to get for him. And IMO we should use whatever that is for the retool, rebuild, excavation, demolition, makeover, relaunch, or whatever the f*** it is we are calling whatever needs to be happening but right now is not.

The most frustrating part about him is that we still don't seem to know what he is.
Maybe more accurately, he still hasn't become what we hoped he would, because he's wildly inconsistent in every aspect of the game, but he shows flashes of being really good in each of them.
Inconsistent scorer
Inconsistent physically
Inconsistent effort
I think I'm just tired of his whole "act" for lack of a better word and I think I'd rather him be traded than re-signed, to be honest.

Just like there are people that don't know what they are talking about. "4orrbruin"

He will most likely bring more in trade because he does not bring much here.

My issue is the fact that $4-4.5M is a lot of money to get production 1/10 games.
He's been pointless in 40 games this year.

Honest question- would the Bruins have been any worse off if, say, Patrick Brown had been in Freddy's spot all season? $4m is a hard pass from me when you can get what he's giving for less than half of that and no long-term commitment.
Has there been a player on the Bruins that have played with everyone but the Zamboni driver?

The frustrating thing for me with Freddy is that he has the tools to be a solid middle-6 winger. He has the ability to be a bigger physical presence and shit disturber, while giving you 20+ goals & 40+ points. Honestly I wouldn't be shocked at all to see him end up in FLA with his buddy Tkachuk. He'll go down there and become the exact player that many of us hoped he'd be.

Freddy hasn't had a 20-goal season. Had one season with (exactly) 40 points.
His points per 82 NHL games is 13 goals, 13 assists. Only 25 giveaways per 82, but that's not because he protects the puck well, but rather because he rarely has the puck. And, his current season is his worst yet.
A very different player from DeBrusk, but similar in terms of not meeting expectations. Both have been a problem for the B's.
