Player Discussion Trent Frederic

[Blowfish]

Freddy can look good at times but most of the time meh! $2.15 for me. Freddy packaged in a deal no matter the result.

The geek, beach, brown, etc plus Swayman arb result make a Freddy trade inevitable.

Most of the time, Meh? Your Freddy hate is showing.

Hate no but JAG yes. But every once and awhile I see promise.

 

[UncleRico]

Someone correct me please if I’m wrong, but we find out on Frederic on 7/30, right?

Peter Cehlarik like?

Peter Cehlarik like?

Touche! and burned! LOL

We all have had our binkies. I still stand by my binky conviction. Cehlarik was Cassidyf@#$d!

Interesting to see the less than 1.75 stat result. I missed this vote. Did you have a chance to poll Swayman?

 

[LSCII]

Should be no more than $1.5 but will probably end up $2 or $2.25. Bruins kind of screwed themselves by giving Geekie $2 mill per and he's a fair comp total number wise, even if he's been more consistent with his production over his career and Freddy's all came in one anomaly of a season.

I did not do Swayman. To me and a lot of people, Swayman is pretty cut and dry. It's just playing out the process. But with Frederic, it's all over the map.

I could see the Bruins offering in the $1.4 million range and Frederic asking in the $3.8 million range in arbitration. I could be way off but that's the feeling I'm getting.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

I'm guessing he gets $2 mil, I think that is more than fair to TF.

There’s no possible comp for Frederic that is anywhere near $1.5M. And they can’t use Geekie as a comp so that’s a moot point.

I love how an improving young player who had a great year is an “anomaly” too. Classic Bruins fan move there.

 

[BruinDust]

Should be below 2 million.

Will likely come above 2 million.

Will that be his agent's strategy, he had a great year?

Jesus Dennis come on. Are we going to debate the term “great”? Obviously it’s a relative term - no one would have expected Frederic to score 17 ES goals this year.

 

[bb74]

I don't think he is worth it but I could see the B's coming in at 1.5 and his agent coming in at 3.3 or something like that. You look at Miles Wood (his RFA signing) or Tanner Jeannot or Jordan Greenway as compares and tag on a bit of inflation and you are in the low 3s as an agent.

Also I don't know how it plays into the arbitration but if there is record of him taking a short bridge as a show me then this could also play into it perhaps.

In any case I have a real hard time seeing an arbitrator award less than 2M whether he is able to earn it or not. Will be an interesting next 72 hours with Swayman on Monday and Frederic on Tuesday.

 

[sarge88]

1.77

 

[PatriceBergeron]

Should be 1.75-2 for the quality of the player, I’m expecting 2.5 though

 

[PlayMakers]

I think 2 is fair.

 

[DiggityDog]

2-2.5 is my ball park. Had a nice season and is due a raise.

I wouldn’t be thrilled with anything above that personally. However I do think he can build off of last season.

IMO he is a tough player to evaluate.

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

Yeah I’d say a bit under 2 is fair on a 2 year deal.
Imagine Freddy asking for $4mill with a straight face lol

Just stop using it to describe Fred's season and we won't have to debate it (again).

There are plenty of comps for him at $1.5. I gave like 4 of them in the other thread when Dom asked. You're just too close to this player for some reason and can't be objective about him in the least, which is hilarious to me.

I'm older and get the market, but still laugh inside when a kid says that making over $5,000/day to play a game he loves isn't enough.
