Prospect Info: Round 1, Pick 27: Morgan Frost, C, Sault Ste. Marie (OHL)

Since it's not the 14th century anymore, I would prefer to be like communications czar or something like that.

What is the difference between court jester, propagandist, and communications czar? Just as I thought,
a microphone and a clown's hat........

I NEED MY ****ING LIKE PRIVILEGES BACK GOD DAMN IT!!!!!

Best talk to Striiker. He's mastered the delicate balance required to stay away from punishment.

Edit - I just saw his post a few above me

Frost going back to juniors was the best thing for him and the team.
One reason Hextall slobbered over him was his intangibles, and they're on full display this year.
He's stepped up every aspect of his game and is getting more confident.
Frost should also fill out naturally with another year under his belt, instead of trying to bulk up past his "natural weight."

I'd be shocked if he spent any time in the AHL, I think there's a very short list of players who put up his kind of numbers in their D+1 and D+2 seasons. Combine that with his hockey IQ and work ethic and I think you can pretty much write him in at 3C next season.

You already had Kjell last week saying he will play in the AHL.

 

[Curufinwe]

200 points in 113 OHL regular season games since being drafted.

... but his pacing lol

Kjell coaches defensemen, what does he know?

I think both Frost and Farabee have probably surprised them with how they picked up their game after the WJC.

 

[Branko]

Any chance Frosty joins the Phantoms for a playoff run this year?

That’s a 120 point pace. Not a bust.

Probably if the Phantoms stay alive. I don’t expect SSM to make a deep run unless Frost goes on a Giroux-like tear, but Frost isn’t a big game player so that seems unlikely.

Me about 3 minutes ago: "Hey, there are new posts in the Morgan Frost thread. Let's see what he has been up to. I bet it's something good about how he is progressing."

Hextall was fired, wasn’t he?

There's a chance the Phantoms make the playoffs, sure.

I know right. You can be totally confident about it since there is such a large sample side.

Frosty the Goal man

We HAVE to make that name stick.

I was the first to call him that over 2 years ago the kid has amazing hockey I Q hope he can make the NHL next season love watching him every game he slowes the game down in a good way

He sure does. Great analysis and it's what we Flyers fans have been impressed with. He excells at every situation/team he's on.

Nice job with the handle soo hound girl

I think if you change the flower on his hat to a Flyers logo and "snowman" to "goal man," this would make for a great new avatar pic for you. Actually, um, nevermind. Stick with what ya got.

 

[Tripod]

That body shape is more like JVR's than Frosts's.

 

[soo hound girl]

Frosty tied for first place in the OHL scoring race with 98 points with 8 less games played (world juniors) 11 games left my prediction he will finish first by at least 5 points I will keep you guys updated if you want me too

 

[Phillyfan28]

Can anyone competent give me a realistic comp or floor/ceiling projection? I don’t watch junior hockey so I have no idea what to do with his torrid pace of production.

He reminds me a lot of David Krejci. But his junior stats are better.

When Krejci was 20 he played in the AHL & had 74 points in 69 games.

At age 21, he had 27 pts in 56 NHL games.

Frost will be 20 next season. If he makes the NHL, I doubt he’ll do better than Krejci did a year older & with a year of AHL dominance behind him.

Can we just bring up everyone, see who is good, and send down whoever isn't

Not the way the Flyers run their organization. Heaviness and veteran presence take priority.
