..All we can hope for here is a Connor Brown-style rejuvenation. Brown's first season was a complete disaster, and people really came around on him (even though he never provided a lot of offence). If we're lucky, Frederic gets going and fans allow themselves to forget the contract for a bit. But we all know it's not good.
|
I tend towards the rose-coloured glasses approach in considering Oiler players and prospects .. but in C. Browns case at least he showed some speed and agility.. Fred by comparison looks slow and clumsy.. last year I attributed it to his injury and lack of time for proper recovery.. now ? .. finding it hard to conjure up explanations/excuses..
Guess you're right all we have is hope.
I don'tremember him in Boston before he was an Oiler.. just now.. but find it hard to believe he was much different before.. in which case what was the pro-scout group analytic process on him? .. that process could be a worry.

I think people forget HOW bad that first while was with Connor Brown. There were many here calling for the team to demote him to the AHL before his bonus money for games played hit because it was so bad.
He was coming off an injury, and so is Frederic, so maybe there's better to come. Even if that's hopelessly optimistic.

It was very bad. I thought he should be demoted. I hated that they kept pushing a player who was probably not in the lineup on merit. It kind of turned around later in the year, and then Brown did the Oilers a solid and gave them a team friendly deal after a player friendly deal the year before.
With Frederic, there's no team friendly deal coming. It's 8 years of him at that cap hit. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it is now, but I'm not optimistic it is at any point going to be a contract that looks remotely okay. But any improvement will be welcomed, because he has been awful, and that contract is awful too.
