Player Discussion Trent Frederic

[Jdavidev]

didn't Frederic wear 34 somewhere? College or Providence?

I like that for him...reminds me of Soderberg. 29 would be good too. or 41 like Jason Allison

Well, he'll be twice the player that Allison was, hence the 82

 

[PlayMakers]

The Bruins site says he's wearing #82. If he's supposed to be a legit player, they need to get him a real number.

Like 73 or 74?

 

[BruinsBtn]

I think this is partly about the matchups the next two games: Winnipeg and Philly -- two heavy teams.

So if JFK was the showcase and didn't attract interest, does that mean Frederic was even less interesting to other teams as a trade chip, or the B's have no interest in using him as one? I certainly hope, and kind of suspect, it was the latter, at least until they see how he does in this call-up. And I wonder how Studnicka stacks up in B's' plans at the moment vs. Frederic.

 

[RussellmaniaKW]

I will spell it out for those people:

JFK was the showcase. Weren't interested. Therefore adios amigos

ok so what's next? is that deal dead or are they talking other options or what?

Couple more years and kids will want the lower numbers, cause they will be the year they are born.


*feels old*

He impressed me the most out of the three young centers tried during the pre-season. Nothing flashy, but seemed like a player that wouldn't look out of place at the NHL level.

This was pretty obvious...

I can't wait to see Frederic ... by all accounts he's been the best Providence player as of late. Well deserved call up.

I didn't mind the 3rd line but at some point they need to contribute/produce! And that was not happening.

 

[RoccoF14]

Watched a lot of Trent Frederic at Wisconsin. Haven't seen him play in Providence so my thoughts might be out of date. But from what I've seen of him and JFK, I like this move.

JFK is the better skater and vision, but Frederic has the size and a very good shot. If this kid has the confidence to shoot the puck at the NHL level, I think we'll be pleasantly surprised.

11 still stinks of Hayes

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Does that mean he's got a 190 point season coming eventually?

 

[Jdavidev]

Sky's the limit...

until he plays his first game and everyone labels him a scrub

I don’t think it necessarily means Frederic was “less interesting”. It could mean that the B’s have zero interest in dealing him? I believe the B’s think they have something with Frederic and Studnicka and that it will take quite the return for them to be dealt.

How soon before JFK joins the likes of Vatrano and Connolly as good young players with offensive upside shipped out of town too soon because they don't play a heavy or defensive enough of a game for this management team?

I wouldn’t put Vatrano or Connolly in the same category as JFK.

 

[ODAAT]

looking forward to seeing the kid, sure not easing him in vs a creampuff team.

Take that 3c trent it's yours.

Damn, check out Backes rockin' that Greg Brady hairdo!

Considering he was being showcased, I think there is a good chance he won't be around long.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

JFK didn't look much more effective at the NHL level than Jordan Szwarz did last season. I'm perplexed at how JFK's mediocre preseason and 4 point performance in Providence somehow earned him a 28 game audition in Boston.

Really looking forward to seeing what Frederic brings. He's earned his shot at the third line.

Was being showcased apparently. Also happy to see what Frederic can do.

 

[HackeyFanz]

Frederic is the perfect type of player for our 3rd Line C. I hope he has had enough seasoning in the AHL to make the jump already... he's been playing well as of late.
