uh CHP five Trent Frederick possibly on
0:04
the trade block Kevin weeks actually
0:07
posted on X uh this tweet right here in
0:11
speaking to sources several teams are
0:13
interested in pending UFA after this
0:16
season Bruins forward Trent Frederick
0:18
with his size speed toughness character
0:20
and skill he's drawing attention in the
0:23
marketplace and couple that with Sweeny
0:26
at the St Louis game and Frederick as a
0:30
mhm is it could it be possible that the
0:32
Bruins are looking for some some of the
0:35
shakeup to be someone like Frederick to
0:37
go and would you trade him and what
0:41
could he even get in return I would
0:46
second um he had his career year last
0:53
week's uh analysis of Frederick's game
0:57
is not what I see I see the size I don't
1:02
see the speed and I don't necessarily
1:04
see the skill he's got a good right a
1:07
good shot he does and he has size and he
1:11
does have toughness and and character so
1:13
I'll give him those I don't see what the
1:16
speed comes he not a fast skater no the
1:18
speed and the skill part I don't see it
1:21
and and the and the protecting
1:24
pucks I don't see that I mean he didn't
1:27
say that but I don't see that either
1:29
because he's maybe the guy on the team
1:32
that uses one hand on the stick when
1:34
he's carrying the puck the most out of
1:36
anyone I've ever seen in my entire life
1:40
he up there with Sean thoron yeah I mean
1:43
what on Earth it everything's like a I
1:45
got a onehanded into the Zone because
1:47
I'm trying to hold the other guy off
1:48
with my off hand because he's not fast
1:51
enough to just skate by the guy right no
1:54
explosive speed yeah no so there's no
1:56
speed there so he's holding the guy with
1:58
one arm and one hand flipping it into
2:01
the Zone with the other arm I mean it
2:03
just doesn't make any sense so yeah I'd
2:07
be willing to trade him I'd be willing
2:08
to trade him for like a third round pick
2:10
like right get to take the two you know
2:14
2.6 and and maybe you can turn that into
2:18
you know package somebody else with it
2:20
throw in something else I don't know and
2:23
and see if you can get an offensively
2:26
skilled player they got a bunch of Trent
2:27
Fredericks on the roster already they do
2:30
geeki is Trent Frederick Max Jones who
2:32
they just sent down of providence is
2:34
Trent Frederick Riley tufty is Trent
2:36
Frederick all of them are all Trent
2:38
Frederick C cck cck is Trent Frederick I
2:41
mean Cole Ki right now is a better
2:44
version of Trent Frederick than ter
2:46
Frederick is because he is faster he
2:49
shoots he's he's scored some goals he'll
2:51
hit um cck and Ki are both better
2:55
versions of Frederick yeah right now
2:57
sure like C Cast looks a better Center
3:01
yeah yeah I mean Frederick is a center
3:04
who can't really play center that well
3:06
so he plays Wing he's a third liner you
3:09
know at best he's not a top six forward
3:12
I just don't think he gets you much by
3:15
himself I don't think maybe third round
3:17
pick yeah don't think he gets you much I
3:19
don't think he does either people seem
3:21
to think he's valuable you want to talk
3:23
about the the skill you know what was
3:26
more skill you're gonna love this you
3:27
know what was more skill than then Trent
3:31
Frederick your buddy Justin
3:36
brazzo okay you talk about this all the
3:38
time you need to have an elite skill
3:41
what is Trent Frederick's Elite skill
3:45
doesn't have one doesn't have one
3:46
doesn't have an elite skill not an elite
3:48
skater you know has size but it's you
3:51
know it's not an elite skill not lead SK
3:54
the rest of the guys on the Bruins all
3:55
have Vision hands none of it nope decent
3:59
shot not Elite no I wouldn't say he has
4:02
an elite shot he has a very good shot he
4:04
has a he has a very good shot not even
4:07
above average very good he has a very
4:08
good shot it's not an elite shot though
4:11
no if he had an elite shot he'd score
4:12
more than 17 goals a thousand per yes
4:17
he's yeah and right now he's not even
4:19
clo tracking close to that no so that's
4:21
what I'm saying he's replaceable he's
4:23
repl his numbers have gone down the last
4:26
years he went from plus 29 to Plus eight
4:30
to now minus8 yeah like it's trending
4:32
the wrong way all the whole team's
4:34
trending the wrong way though yes he's
4:37
trending the wrong way now he could go
4:38
to a contender Carolina or somewhere you
4:41
probably wouldn't trade him there but so
4:44
Minnesota you go to Minnesota it
4:46
probably add some real value to them you
4:48
know tell you what him on a on a third
4:51
line with guys that actually play
4:53
offense would Jes be pretty good I mean
4:55
he was pretty good last year when he had
4:57
guys on the third line with him that
5:00
you know he was pretty good when he had
5:01
you know Taylor Hall and like guys that
5:03
could play offense well that's the thing
5:05
that's when he did well was when he had
5:07
Taylor Hall's a number one draft pick I
5:09
me he has Elite [ __ ] skill sure he
5:11
does like that so yes I I agree like
5:14
when he does that but when he plays with
5:16
Max Jones and and corre Tom Tom Jones it
5:20
doesn't it doesn't work like Quincy
5:23
showes God bless God Rest his soul yeah
5:27
yeah I mean yeah when he does that he so
5:30
other PE people have to bring that out
5:32
in him you know but if you line driver
5:36
people talk about players that Drive
5:37
Lines he's not a line driver I mean how
5:39
how about this you put him on it if you
5:41
put him on the third line in Minnesota
5:42
with Marcus Felino and Frederick gdo
5:45
yeah all right he might do pretty well
5:47
there yeah I think he would do well he
5:50
he might do well there you know what I
5:51
mean th those are the types of teams I
5:54
think he would do well with you know if
5:56
you put him in Los Angeles Kings with
6:00
and somebody you know yeah if you put
6:03
him on teams that have you know some
6:05
pretty tell you what I'd make that trade
6:08
in a in a hot second if you want to give
6:10
me Alex turot you can have Trent
6:14
Frederick and and we'll take Alex turot
6:16
with the Kings do that okay you want
6:19
that Alex turot okay Alex turot was a
6:22
was a was a first round pick as well um
6:25
and he's not necessarily struggled but
6:28
he hasn't been great in La um and you
6:32
know if you want to talk about maybe you
6:35
know an underachiever for Freddy yeah I
6:38
mean I i' do it I would take a chance I
6:40
would take a take a chance on U on turot
6:44
okay so you heard it here first from
6:46
Smitty a sneaky little trade Alex turot
6:49
who's 511 185 Center left shot uh played
6:55
Wisconsin as well uh National
6:58
development team too he did yeah he was
7:00
a 2019 first round pick fifth overall
7:04
mhm um and he has uh a goal and four
7:09
assist Five Points Plus Eight in 13
7:12
games with the Kings plays about 12
7:14
minutes per game so he's playing down
7:16
the lineup but he is a guy with with
7:22
untapped and maybe you put him in there
7:25
Center but the problem is you're going
7:27
to put him out there with Tom Dick and
7:31
Harry and you know God knows if that'll
7:34
do any well but maybe you put him on the
7:36
second line with Brad Martian and give
7:38
him a go I don't I don't mind that trade
7:41
like that's the type of trade I think
7:43
you try with a guy like Fredrick is a
7:46
guy with untapped potential who was once
7:49
highly regarded yeah um that you try I
7:53
mean I mean I think I think it's a
7:55
similar type of trade that you made with
7:59
uh zaka and Eric Halla I think it's a
8:01
similar type of thing yeah similar thing
8:04
both both those guys uh holla and zaka
8:07
were more established than both
8:08
Frederick and turot are but right that's
8:11
that's the type of thing I would I would
8:13
give it give a try to and you know
8:15
Turk's only played 45 NHL games over the
8:19
course of Four Seasons right um you know
8:21
so he he's been mostly in the minors
8:24
recently right right but you know this
8:27
year I think he's getting his full first
8:30
you know kind of full taste yeah um you
8:32
know and we'll see how he does but you
8:35
know that's that's something that I
8:38
with yeah that's an interesting one
