mnfaninnc Verified Member Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago All this and he really hasn't had the opportunity to show off what he's best at: Shootouts. He makes $100k more than Johansson, but I would argue he's been solidly more useful. Johansson's had a good close to the season, but Gaudreau has been way more consistent. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Verified Member Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago The pk has been historically bad most of the season. The pp isn’t good. Move him up the lineup and that line can’t score. Proven since he’s been here . Move him down the lineup up and that line can’t prevent being scored on. Everyone is so called slotted now and his line is the weak link. He can’t defend the middle with his weak stick checks. Adam Lowry is going to have a field day playing Fred’s line . You need more than he offers for 3 rd line. At best he’s a 4 th line wing. Then that means you don’t have a physical 4 th line just like they don’t have a physical 3 rd line going into playoffs. IMO he’s the weak link that’s going to get exposed in playoffs. . It’s time to find someone to do his job better and that’s not asking much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to say Fred is a value deal(because the bar is so low for Fred), but Dean accurately points out that Fred is a jack of all trades but master of none. He’s not an immediate problem that needs to be addressed, but if he’s in the top 9 it’s a Wild problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
