Frost has a higher shooting percentage than the $49,600,000 man Owen Tippett over the last two seasons. And one of them is supposed to be a sniper.

Which mean’s absolutely nothing. 10 verse 11 percent and one guy takes a billion more shots.

If he's trying to win games , explain starting Cates, Sanheim and Poehling in OT.

He values that type of player over skill.

This must be an MJL alt. But i agree. )

Say it with me: He is a playmaker, not a goal scorer. But had 19 goals last year, and could do about that periodically in future seasons. Worry more about chance creation than his own scoring chances.
- bmeltzer

He also had a nice SO goal last night. Shame OT failed for the third time in three attempts as a Flyer.

Just have Cutter Gauthier take his role as the only playmaking center on the roster aged under 25... ooh, whoops. They traded him for the new Ryan Ellis.
- Feanor

Cutter Gauthier is a playmaker? I mean he might be I guess.

Wouldn't be great if Frost could actually finish off a scoring chance?

Frost is the Flyers 2nd leading scorer over the last 30 games. Second only to Konecny.

Nice shootout goal last night to keep the Flyers in the game.

But OT with all that open ice is a skill fest

It’s hilarious how Morgan Frost is so polarizing. He’s not taking a huge cap hit. Hes a middle 6C. Has semi-decent stats for a middle 6. Is 24 years old. Is not devoid of talent by any stretch of the imagination. Yet people lose their flipping minds arguing over his utility or lack thereof.

It means that Frost finishes a higher percentage of his shots than Tippett does.

Trade him for a guy like Pinto. Get a skilled young center for a skilled young center. A hockey trade involving two players that need a change of scenery pending how the rest of the season turns out. A 22 year old kid (Foerster) is the one that has stepped up the most in TK's absence.
- Phillywhiteout

Frost has been stepping up for considerable amount of time now. He is the Flyers 2nd leading scorer over the last 30 games. Second only to Konecny. What makes you think that Ottawa is trading Pinto? Or are we playing fantasy hockey?

He has also scored at exactly the same rate as Farabee in the almost two full seasons since Torts became coach, but Farabee isn't very controversial at all. Very strange.

Fireable offense (no pun intended) imo.

I really wish Torts didn’t scratch Frost at all this season. I can’t go another year of this.

He was being penciled in to take Frost's spot down the middle just a few months ago.

Without a further scoring leap, it probably won’t be enough to keep top prospect Cutter Gauthier from taking Frost’s spot down the middle once he signs his entry-level contract and turns pro — which could happen as soon as next spring.

He was the Flyers top prospect for a while and as always the Flyers oversell their own talent. They are doing it again with Drysdale which the fan base will turn on probably next year.

The only flaws that are outlined daily is your continued ignorance of NHL hockey. What do you think this is, a pee-wee game where everyone gets their minutes no matter what? Torts is trying to WIN GAMES, and thus he is going to play the players that have it going that night the most minutes. Cam is cooked, everyone knows it. He is at the stage of ND for me, cringe worthy every time he is on the ice. I liked Lkysell and Brink with Couts and I would like to see more of it, however Couts is one of the players that has slumped recently, and as you know I was pointing this out months ago. Whether you want to admit it or not, Frost and Farabee are not getting the job done, unless of course you count what they are doing for the opposing team. Laughton and Poehling have been the Flyers most consistent centers over the past few weeks and thus they are getting the bulk of the ice time. These are the FACTS, not opinions. You need to accept it and learn.
- jd250

Poehling and Cates don't have it going offensively. Here is what you don't understand. As an opposing coach, all I know is that all I have to do is start my top offensive player and neanderthal Tortorella will put his checkers and grinders out there. To gain an easy advantage. Tortorella favors grinder and checkers and overplays them to a ridiculous level. You have no clue.

I really wish Torts didn’t scratch Frost at all this season. I can’t go another year of this.

If you like bigger sample sizes and prefer totals to rates, here you go. Frost is 4th in scoring on the Flyers since Torts became coach.

I don't know if that is fair. Tippett is a high volume shooter. A player like that is typically not going to have a high shot percentage. I want Tippett shooting then puck whenever he can. Frost is a play maker and a selective shooter.

The one and only time I saw Cutter Gauthier play live, he was playing center and he shot literally everything. His playmaking in the world juniors this past winter was the only time I’ve heard of his playmaking but admittingly I didn’t watch any of the games. What was his shot count and shooting percentage for a guy who only came up with two goals? Not an argument, just curious.

Farabee's S% is basically the same at 11.3%, and he's not a volume shooter.

I just don’t want to hear “he was our leading scorer for the second half of the season” two year straight.

That depends. The biggest Frost detractor believes that Farabee is an ok player with ok skill despite being in the top 20 in overall scoring at this position in the NHL and ranked 11th at his position in EV scoring.

The head injury victim you are talking about is literally the only person I have seen complaining about Farabee this season.

It means that Frost finishes a higher percentage of his shots than Tippett does.
- Feanor

And one is a much more selective shooter but still finishes within a small range higher even though one’s volumes is significantly higher.

He was the team's leading ES scorer for the entire season last year as well as being 4th in total scoring for 22-23.
