As soon as I seen that signing I was like 😮 wtf!!! The term was ridiculous and even the money this guy got! It’s a classic example of teams just throwing money at players. Obv this guy is going take the money and run lol. I didn’t think he proved himself in the playoffs to get an offer like this from EDM whatsoever.
Frederic showed that he could not help.. but Bowman was just dead set to overpay Frederic for 8 yrs.. seems some odd corruption or secret involved – baffling that everyone could see the sitn, but Bowman/Jackson did this anyway.
If he us that bad the demote him to the minors
Tell him you got two options go knock a guys teeth out and actually be maybe an enforcer or big hitter to set the tone or go to AHL
Stupid siging .. he didn't even do anything to show us he deserved the money.. buy him out ..
One of the worst sigingings ever…it be nice if they could find a way to trade him or get rid of his contract
Tell him to lay down inside the net behind the goalie for the entire game. He might block some shots that way.
He needs to get hits per game up. maybe when Clattenburg returns we can have Frederic/Jones/Clattenburg 4th line.
Options
Current Cap Hit = 3.8m
Buyout Cap Hit = 2.3m (give or take)
NMC but should be a team willing to take him, even 50% retainer on salary is cheaper than buyout. Retain 50% but if he gets 40 points no future retainment.
The problem with Fredrick is he thinks he is a skill player… He's not… He needs to be more like Podkolzin… Skate HARD, and hit every chance he gets. Otherwise he is going to end up on wavers!
