I'm sure Frattin would have played the same way and produced just as well if he played the same ammount of games in as many nights as the Leafs. Not that the rest of the Leafs looked tired or anything.

I'm pretty sure he didn't though, based on his last comment. Let's be real here, Kadri plays 15mins a night of sheltered scoring and 2 of his 3 goals have been tap-ins. He's playing damn well, but he's nowhere near capable of putting up a ppg, yet.
Yeah, that's what I got off it as well. Didn't sound like he meant an 82 game season. He's basing it off of his "PPG" production atm, which is a simple span of 4 games. Way too early to call it. Kind of funny as it reminds of that Kassian thread on the main board. Whooo whee.

Yeah honestly
Kassian is playing well, but I would imagine playing with the Sedins is a MASSIVE catalyst to his offensive production thus far. I love it how Kadri seems to create his own offense, usually playing with lesser players. And when he is on the PP with better players, he's always in the right spot for those tap-ins. He's looking like a real dandy, still not a PPG guy though
They didn't look tired until the goaltending sucked the life out of the team... I think your right though on Frattin he should be here to stay.
1 player in particular I'm not fond with and I don't want to go over board with my displeasure that he's still on the team so instead of continuing to crap on him I will ask you and hope you respond cause I read your post and find you to be logical if a good move to fix the issue of missing Lupul is to call up the Marlies team captain Ryan Hamilton who was line mates with Kadri and Frattin there's real chemistry with this trio to join them on the 3rd line, promote JVR on the top line with Kessel and Bozak, promote Komarov with Grabo and Kulemin.

Yeah I saw his last comment right after posting...I don't even know what to say

Combination thereof. Leafs didnt have the same jump as last night, wasnt just the goaltending that deflated the.
I have no idea who this player is you are not fond of. Your comment is one long run on sentence, and I can't make our who it is you don't like and why.
I think he played a really good game. Was active got atleast one assist (I think even 2?) and a few nice hits as well.

The Sedins probably are helping Kassian, as they would help any player on their line. However I can tell you with all certainty that Kassian also makes the Sedins better (it's why he's on the line) and he has the skills to produce I assure you. He is not a goon, he is not a banger. He has the skill to use his size and still control the puck (especially along the boards) in a way few guys can. He is quite a skilled player for a bruiser, and would be able to produce without the benefits of the Sedins in a less prolific yet impressive way.
I was bummed when Lupul went down but I was looking forward to seeing Frattin a bit more. He's got a great shot and he looks like a guy ready to make his mark in the NHL. I didn't see the game tonight, but he must be doing something right. It's been a while since we've seen our homegrown talent shine so much. We've got depth at forward, depth on the blueline, and question marks in net. Something is going to happen you would think.

Yeah, I tried to choose my words carefully here, all I'm trying to say is that I am aware he is good, heck I have nothing against him I kinda like the nucks... But, the sedins will inflate stats.
1 goal and 2 assists
I thought he only had one assist? I did turn off the game though after it went 5-3..

Yes, that is true of all skilled players. But if you think that is the only reason Kassian is producing you are mistaken. The one goal he scored was a completely individual effort on his part, taking it around the back of the net and jamming it, then collecting the puck after it was stopped not once, but twice before blasting it in. He's a bull, at the Memorial Cup in Brandon he was a one man cycle in the offensive zone. In one game he held off THREE of the Calgary Hitmen defensemen for 30 seconds of game clock in the offensive zone by himself before feeding Kenny Ryan cross ice for a goal. It's still one of the most impressive stretches of physical yet skilled hockey I've ever seen. He's on the Sedin's line for a reason.

Didn't Frattin score last season?
Yup, he had 8 goals last year.Didn't Frattin score last season?I thought he only had one assist? I did turn off the game though after it went 5-3.. good to hear he got his first career goal in the NHL
Yeah just checked...I think I confused his stats with Ashton's..well I feel dumb
It's fine, it is 1 in the morning.
Nice to see him pitch in offensively right off the bat (and the assists were legit assists, not phantom ones), even if he wasn't really noticeable otherwise during the game. The only other play I really noticed him on was the hit along the boards when Kadri ended up getting a penalty. That's probably a good thing, since it means he wasn't a complete disaster in the defensive zone like most of the team. Hopefully he can keep it up.
Fantastic that he's scoring this fast, I always thought he was snakebitten last year.
never seemed like a 15 point guy or whatever like last year, looks to be a 40-50 point guy IMO. A dustin brown lite.
Kadri is just continuing to be a fantastic scoring presence.

i dont mind losing as long as we are giving the younger guys time.
Frattin will be a 20+ goal scorer in the NHL once he gets rolling, not this year obviously, soon as next year i can see him hitting 20 if given the chance

Yes his cap hit still counts minus 900 thousand. And no re-entry waivers has been taken out

Frattin is here to stay, I think only two more games and they can't send him down without having to pass him through waivers.
