Player Discussion Trent Frederic

[Kalus]

No one will want Coyle at his cap hit with the way he is currently playing and with one more year on his contract. He could maybe be moved in the off-season.

That’s right. To move Coyle, they’d probably have to retain about $2M of his cap hit (or offer sweetener of equivalent value / take back bad contract of equivalent negative value etc). At that point, they are just better off keeping him.

I'd still like to see him play with Poitras and Pasta...for some reason, that dynamic reminds me of Lucic | Savard | Kessel

 

[BigGoalBrad]

They are not the problem.

Middle roster players who don't fight stick up for teammates despite being big have huge contracts and have the worst country club mentality? Give me a break.

Could include Lysell before he is completely worthless

Thought this was a Frederic thread

They are a bit different in style, but Jimmy Hayes had a couple of seasons like Frederic recently had and then went over the cliff. Maybe Freddie is Jimmy 2.0- this season it's looking like it so far. Still, 15 games is not enough to declare him as crap. At least give him till the mid-way point. That said, if they traded him tomorrow for some offensive help, I wouldn't cry.

Thank you.

Bruins have $22m in cap space next year with 9 free agents to sign.

If they re-sign all but Frederic, they should have around $7m in cap space left.

Would you rather spend $7m on a top6 forward or $5m on Frederic?
