Player Discussion Trent Frederic

[arider1990]

Frederic in his last 9 games hasn't registered a point yet.

JFK in his last 9 games had 4 assists and directly set-up two of those goals.

Which one is useless again? I'm confused. Are you saying the forward producing offense is useless, but the forward that doesn't produce offense but brings "size" and "nasty" isn't useless?

That is just Fenian with his abnormal hatred of JFK

 

[Don Cherry]

Again, aside from the fight in his first game I have seen very little from Frederic. No offense and, to be honest, very little nasty. In fact, if what he does is now considered mean or nasty, the league has reached a new low in physicality, which, sadly, it has.

 

[BruinDust]

Cassidy isnt happy with one 4th line (Wagner Acciari Kuraly)

So he needs to have another jr. Version

Both are physical lines.... and cant be pushed around. I guess its a mentality pro... in that the other team never feels an edge/energy

The thing about JFK, Donato line was that Cassidy couldnt roll them out in any occassions, especially late in tight games. They also were on the ice for several goals against. Manhandled on several occassions. And I dont even think Frederic has been on the ice (GA). Also is excellent on the FO

If no trades materializes ... and once pasta returns, would like to see what Heinen Frederic Kuhlman line can do. Nordstom works hard but he is not going to help score points

Well JFK was a minus player just once in his last 14 NHL games, and was a plus 4 in his last 7. They weren't on the ice for "several goals against" and weren't "manhandled" any worse than the Frederic line has been. Oh and get this, it actually produced offense from time to time.

Frederic is a minus 1, and that goal against it was on him as he could beat his back-check to the net. He's also just 44.8% on face-offs over his last 6 games.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

It's funny how there is a poster who calls JFK horrible, wretched and terrible but gets all hot and bothered over Frederic who has done NOTHING (besides a fight his first game) since getting the call.

Send this kid down. He is not ready.

Frederic another solid game

Had two incredible back checks.

But wish he had a shot playing with different more skilled wingers

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

thought tonight was his best game since his debut. had some nice plays, looked pretty quick. his pass to Backes that Backes fanned on was a thing of beauty.

I didnt know he had that passing skill in him

 

[whitetape]

I think he's always been a good passer. Just needs to get stronger on the puck, will come with confidence.

 

[Tampbear]

I didn't see last night's game but it seems like Cassidy isn't really worried about whether or not he produces judging from his line and usage. Glad to hear he's continuing to play a solid if unproductive game. I'm torn on whether or not I'd rather he go down, I'm curious what he would look like with more offensive wingers.

He needs to pot one... hopefully soon

 

[The don godfather]

Frederic will pop one soon he's getting close.

 

[Multigrain]

So Donoto or Frederic? Do you still keep Frederic up or do you bring a guy like Smith up.
Not quite sure what they all can bring if anything but if nothing else maybe trade bait.

Is being Smith up. I thought he played well while in Boston. I’d let the two kids just play the whole year in Providence.

Why would Cassidy be worried if trent produces? He has tons of offense all of it coming from the same cast of players

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

will he be sent back to AHL now since Bruins got Coyle?

 

[The Laukomotive]

I hope they let the Frederic stay until the end of the trip and play in hometown St. Louis on Saturday. Then it should be back to Providence.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Agree. Let him get a couple more games. Next year I think hes best served in the AHL. Save the waiver moves. Him and Studnicka should be competing for who replaces Coyle fall 2020 with DK likely done the year after.

 

[Pia8988]

Definitely needs to go back to Providence. If Coyle isn’t the 3rd line center, JFK is better today.

 

[rocketdan9]

From the sounds of Cassidy interview post Coyle trade

Frederic will be sent down.

 

[rocketdan9]

Definitely needs to go back to Providence. If Coyle isn’t the 3rd line center, JFK is better today.

All indication from what CAssidy and Donny have said regarding the trade, Coyle will start at 3c.

Frederic was sent down to Providence today.

Well if your playing 3rd line you gotta produce. Though he showed some good skills and can do a little of everything , some time in the AHL will do him good. You gotta dominate in the AHL before you have any chance in the NHL.

 

[JCRO]

Oof.

 

[Bruinaura]

Oof.

I feel bad for him.

But sounds like he is handling it well.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Oof.

Damn, well that sucks.
