Frost is a playmaker more than a goal scorer. Saying he doesn't shoot enough is an inaccurate criticism. He also is not soft. He is one of the better forwards defensively away from the puck on the team. He is also not a perimeter player. When given consistent ice time, he produces. Frost has had strong games against playoff level teams including in two games against TB, against Winnipeg, Dallas and Colorado

If true and given Torts is not a fan of Frost, I would think Frost would be a hot commodity in the deadline trade market, but I have not seen his name prominently featured in any rumors. Why do you think this is? Is it possible other GMs and scouts are not looking at the same metrics as you are? Is it possible scouts who actually know the game of hockey are actually paying attention to the games and know what they are watching?

Torts: “Hey Joel, would you like us to trade you to the Blues?”

Farabee: “No coach, why?”

Torts: “ Because you’re playing for them tonight”

But the metrics say Farabee has a solid game, yet the Flyers could only score 1 goal and Farabee had nothing to do with it.

He is, but Perrault was the kind of "swing for the fences" high ceiling type of player they need. Especially with how thin they are at high end forward in the pipeline.


That being said. There is a flip side to that. Some say that because he was going to be playing with Gauthier, that Gauthier would be in his ear all year about how he shouldn't play for Philly. Some say that influenced their decision to not pick him and go for Bonk instead.

The world may never know.

Perrault is putting up some good numbers this year at BC, but just once I want to see how he does without Smith centering him.

Just keep pumping those stats ...

Just keep making yourself look like a fool!

Are there any rumors floating around about Konecny, Tippet or Foerster? Do you know what anecdotal is? Don't need any hockey knowledge to answer that. Just common sense. Which you have none.

By your standard, only Laughton, Poehling and Sanheim had a solid game. Only players involved in the one goal the Flyers scored. Which means that Foerster, who was by far the Flyers best player, didn't have a solid game. Again, don't need any hockey knowledge to refute your ridiculousness. Just common sense. Of which you obviously have none. You also apparently don't have any hockey knowledge because a player can have a solid game without registering a point.
