I hate to be that guy BUT he was playing way too high on that PK/shorty. Hopefully that gets coached out of him next year.

 

[baudib1]

Full disclosure: There are probably some posts of mine around here where I'm mad about losing Schenn. LMFAO

 

[baudib1]

Yeah, somehow I don't think he's going to get acquainted with beautiful downtown Allentown.

I can't wait to bond over Morgan Frost with you. <3

 

[baudib1]

are you telling me he couldn't have played in the NHL this year?

 

[deadhead]

I think they did the right thing, like Barzal, that extra year in juniors sets him up for success in the NHL.
He tried to bulk up too fast, and it showed, somethings just take time.
The extra year should allow him to carry the weight more naturally.

Frost isn't Marner, he's not so good that he could just show up and dominate.
Johnny Gaudreau spent three years at BC and didn't enter the NHL until he was 21. Didn't hurt him.
One issue with Frost is he's not ultra-quick, which helps smaller guys maneuver and avoid contact.
So the time to get stronger and to learn how to play with lesser talent and at higher speed should pay off.

Shame he can't wear #16, that would be a great one for him. #61? Weird. Just has to be better than Mike York.

Not really. He challenged the shooter and took off when he saw the puck was going to his teammate. Don't worry though, he won't PK at the next level. Too small.

Frosty the Goal man

We HAVE to make that name stick.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Frost and Farabee!!!!! It really was worth taking back Torgo the slug on our team. The real issue, for the trillionth time, was Man-Beets love of his heavy game.

 

[Embiid]

Really going out on a limb there, Norm.

Hegemonycricket agrees......

Somebody can adopt it as their user name....

His signing an ELC was contingent on wearing #16.









Only kidding......

 

[Dicky Dangles]

Flip #16 over and it's #91. I like that better than #61 or his WJC #26.

 

[Striiker]

I hope he takes 10.

 

[baudib1]

I like 91 for Frost.

Probably but considering his competition was Jordan Weal and Vorobyev, he merited a longer look.

I expect Frost to have a really solid 35-40 point year as a rookie.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

The way they dismissed him was the puzzling thing. Usually teams give top end guys some more time exposed to the club

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

I like the 91 suggestion. I can't decide if I like 10 to honour Leclair. Seems like Frost is worthy though.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

I know I'll have a jersey no matter the number though!

Next two will be Hart and Frost. Until they sign EK and Panarin. Then I'll have a decision (all 4 as I hate choosing )

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

I'd like #10 for him. He'd wear the number a lot better than Schenn did.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Agreed. Fatty Schenn wasn't worthy for number 10.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

This guy was pretty good. We can channel him with 91.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

^^^^^
Honestly one of my fave non-Flyers. That dude could game.

Back in the 90's I toyed with getting his jersey. I couldn't do it. I've never owned another NHL team.

I like 61 a lot, actually. Wish we could get Oskar to take 96.
