Haha! Are the “usual suspects” saying his game isn’t even AHL-ready? Cuz that sounds like a take those folks would have to get a reaction out of people on here

Well...the guy says he is impartial, so....

 

[Stizzle]

"Frost's game not even AHL ready"

That seems to contradict what others are saying that watched the games...saying he has created chances but others did not capitalize.

Apparently the trolls are working extra hard for reactions today. Being an attention whore on a hockey message board. Nice life.

 

[Jtown]

Frost will be fine but his game is simply not NHL ready. It’s not even AHL ready at the moment, though I suspect that will change.

Farabee plays an NHL game. Was a split second off in preseason, but he’s a guy who adjusts very quickly. Already showing too good for the AHL. He’ll be up soon.

Farabee is going to be our justin williams. Oh wait we had justin williams. Well he is going to be our patrick sharpe... oh wait.

 

[flyersfan187]

Problem is Farabee isn't a center, that's the real issue on the 3rd line, replacing Twarynski with Farabee won't make it much better.

You replace Twarynski with Bunny on the 4th line and then put Farabee on the 3rd line. I’m expecting Farabee to be called up after the west coast trip.

I guess no one made the ironic connection between Frost with Camus and the Absurd. I thought someone like Dave would have chuckled.

Ratcliffe at least for now is starting to use his big body and is having a good effect, he will only get better.].

Last night was Ratcliffe’s best game of the year but he still tended to make the lower percentage play with the puck. I’m looking to see if he can create offense for himself and not have to rely solely on his linemates to get him the puck. Gabriel is arguably driving his line better than Ratcliffe is. Was nice to see Ratcliffe start winning some 50/50 battles last night though. His puck control was (& still is) concerning though. A few too many times he gets possession of the puck and he’ll just fumble it away.


Frost’s poor puck luck has followed him from Flyers TC. His tendency to slow things down in the NZ has creeped in a bit the past two games. He is a highly skilled player figuring out what works (& what doesn’t) at this level. He’ll be fine and he has been fine to start this season. He’ll hit the box score pretty soon I’m thinking

 

[Rebels57]

Wayyyyyyyyyyyy too early for anyone to be down on Frost.

Hell Carter Hart sucked his first few AHL starts. People really do have short memories.

His rebound control in those first few starts was hilariously bad. He has cleaned that up a ton since. fingers crossed, knock on wood, etc that that continues.

 

[Striiker]

Yep, especially since Frost hasn’t even been bad to begin with.

Like I said, he’s just like Giroux, doing a great job to set up teammates, but they’re just not finishing. Farabee has had the scoring success, but Frost has been very good too.

Personally, Im very pleased with what I’ve seen from all three of our top prospects in the AHL.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Frosty will be fine. Haters gonna get burned.

Lycksell seems to have taken a big step up this season, given that he just turned 20, that's not unexpected.
But it does show how tricky development is, at 18-19 he was too good for superElite but not quite ready to play with the big boys.
And he hadn't stood out in international competition.
So it's not surprising he wasn't ranked high in our poll, next year may be another matter.

So much of being sent to the AHL for younger prospects is playing with less pressure and allowing them to build confidence in their game . Confidence is at least 50 percent of any sport you play . I do not look at demotions as a bad thing and trying to force development and confidence will backfire more often then not . aka Edmonton

*2017 NHL Drafted FWDS with at least 5 games played during the 2019-2020 season*


@Appleyard I haven't seen any of his games this year. How has he been playing? 7pts in 10GP seems like a positive start offensively to his Draft+3 season.

[TheKingPin]

Farabee is going to be our justin williams. Oh wait we had justin williams. Well he is going to be our patrick sharpe... oh wait.

So you are saying we should trade him?

He has looked great in all areas. Really confident and making plays almost every shift.

53.5% Corsi as well. His line are the only three regulars on the team over 50%. They have carried the rest...

NCHC Rookie of the week.

Only if we can get terrible value

 

[Tripod]

No points for Serdyuk today. That's 3 games in a row. @Rebels57 must have jinxed him. Just like JOB...shutout on Saturday and not a mention of it.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Justin Williams is actually a pretty good comp for Farabee. Before the draft I said his game reminded me a bit of TJ Oshie’s, but Williams is probably a better comparison.

Zamula extends his point streak in a blowout loss.

Do you think these kids are robots or something? I know you bring it up in a joking matter but it seems like anytime goes pointless you need to bring it up as if it’s a negative development. It’s weird.

it's 100% joking. relax

I think Frost is better than Hughes right now. I'm not saying I'd take him over Hughes in the long-term, but I'm not saying I wouldn't, either.

Hughes has had some bad luck (as has Frost) but he looks like he's playing smaller than Frost right now, he just seems to get swallowed up by most defensemen so far. He looks terrific in open ice and with time and space, but so does Frost.

I assume this is mostly a function of Frost being more physically mature than Hughes.

 

[FLYguy3911]

It's important to keep in mind that Hughes is the first player ever to jump right from the USNTDP/USHL straight to the NHL. There was always going to be an adjustment period (I still laugh at someone telling me playing in the OHL last year wouldn't have made for an easier transition for him). The Devils being a dumpster fire doesn't help.

it's 100% joking. relax

It happens too often to be a joke.

 

[deadhead]

At this point, isn't the USHL as good or better than the CHL?
The problem for Hughes is that he's a very undersized and inexperienced player, tough combo when you jump straight to the NHL.
