I'm trying not to get excited because I don't know if this is just a nice little heater he's on, or if this is his game going forward. He's scoring backhand, forehand, tips, tap ins, and throwing the body when he's not scoring. I didn't know he had the hands in tight around the net either.

He was really great the other night when they put him on Coyle and Marchands wing for the 3rd period, got 2 assists in the one period....wouldn't mind seeing him get an extended chance there

Trederic is proving that sometimes patience is all you need. I agree that he should see time on the PP. Wouldnt be surprised to see a 30-30 season out of him eventually.

Not to pat myself on the back but I was pretty adamant that guys with size like Freddy generally start hitting their stride later than most prospects, really glad the Bruins were patient with him.

Would love to see them expand his role to PP and maybe a stint in the top 6 to see how he does.

Well well well

I guess Sweeney’s drafting team and decisions aren’t so bad after all

If anyone is tight on money, I recommend cancelling your subscriptions to the athletic and redline, as they are clearly fantasy and not useful in a practical way .

I love the optimism by you and @FrankerCee but i would like to see him pop 20 to 25 first before we start talking about 30.

That will get him a huge raise, those are Tom Wilson numbers and they play a very similar game, Frederic doesn't hit as much but is far and away Boston's most physical player.

sorry I meant as a peak (like in 5 years), not routine. I think he could be a routine 20G guy that is a nightmare to play against. You can’t let those get away

100% agree, I lock him up after this season the moment you can do so.

Think he's superior offensively. Wilson sees regular PP time and has benefited from riding on top lines for most of his productive years. Frederic's been on a burner just playing even strength with guys like Geekie, Heinen, and Lauko.

Yep, call me crazy but I would also consider putting him with Pastrnak and Zacha for a few games to see....I think they would benefit from his defensive play and physicality on that line.

Yeah he could bring what Geekie brought…but better. However, I see the argument that keeping him where he is gives them a better base for the third line and better depth.
 
Core player. Lock him up long term next July 1 and play him w 74 on the left and 18 in the middle
 
Last year he played physical and had 17 even strength goals from the bottom six. Which is very good, but also maybe a one off which lead to his current contract.

This year he is already up to 13 even strength goals (and even one PP goal!) playing in the bottom six.

For comparison, that's as many even strength goals or more than Drai, Sam Reinhart (!), Jason Robertson, Sebastian Aho, Bratt, Kryou, Eichel, Horvat, JT Miller, Kaprizov, Tuch, DeBrincat, Larkin... all from the 3rd line.

And its not just goals, sandwiched between DeBrincat, Raymond, Batherson and Tippet for even strength points, too.

That's a lot of 8+ million dollar guys on that list. Of course, he is in the midst of a hot streak so maybe he falls back later in the season.

Better keep him away from the top 6 and the PP until you get him on a long term deal, lol.
