What does Frederic bring to this team? Why is he on the top line?

He brings an 8 year investment by us. Gotta make him a star.

He has to be the most nothing player to ever get an 8 year deal. He not making dumb plays, but he’s not making any plays. This is more of what we saw last year. I assumed when they signed him to that crazy deal, it was because he was way better than what we saw. He was probably just injured. But no.
What a dumb contract. Please make me eat my words.

One can only imagine what sort of contract in this era Lucic could have stung the Oilers for, but at least he was a 1/4 of a player.
That being said, just caught up with the full game and clearly it's early season and we will get better, but I do wonder who drops when we introduce Roslovic to the team and Hyman later. Howard has to be one, he's certainly a talent, but could do with some time in the AHL and then the next though? Tomasek looks like he's a goal away from going on a streak, but it's getting that first goal.
Take me home, country road
to the place where I belong
to Alberta, to see the Oilers
take me home, country road
