With the Philadelphia Flyers, the center line leaves something to be desired, especially on the offensive side.
Sean Couturier is no longer the same and the vast majority of centers are defensively oriented.
The only offensive center on the team is Morgan Frost.
The only problem is that he lacks consistency and this season it’s more difficult than ever, having been left out three times in the last four games.
This is not the first time that the 25-year-old center has missed his turn in recent years.
Typically, he bounces back afterward, as evidenced by his last two seasons of 46 points (81 games) and 41 points (71 games).
On the other hand, this cannot last and a change of scenery could be beneficial for both clans.
Kevin Kurz, journalist for The Athletic on the cover of the Flyers, posted a text earlier today about this situation and he too believes the end is near.
This really wouldn’t be a bad idea, as Frost seems to need a breath of fresh air and the Flyers can’t keep hoping for him to bounce back.
Additionally, Kurz noticed a completely downcast Frost (more than ever) in front of the cameras in the locker room Tuesday night.
In the case of the Montreal Canadiens, we still don’t seem to know if Kirby Dach will be the #2 center or if he would be better on the wing.
Additionally, several teams could be interested in the services of Jake Evans.
Christian Dvorak, at a (very) low price and part of the salary retained, could also interest a team looking for a deep defensive center.
Reinforcement in the center could be welcome.
Moreover, the page HabsLink “retweeted” Kurz’s article, mentioning that Frost could be a target for the CH, in the event of the departures of Evans and/or Dvorak.
I always liked Frost as a player and in the junior ranks he was beyond impressive to watch.
Even today, when he has the puck, what he can do with it is out of the ordinary.
He’s not afraid to get his Sunday hands out, as can be seen in HIS goals between his legs.
If it were just me, he would already be with the CH, but is he really the solution to the second center position?
Based on what he can bring offensively, the question does not even arise, but his lack of consistency and his defensive difficulties weigh heavily.
His six points (including just one goal) in 16 games this season are simply not enough and that’s why he skipped his turn recently.
And it’s not like John Tortorella doesn’t like it, but if you don’t do the job, others are willing to do it.
On the other hand, if there is a positive point, it is that he could bring the effectiveness of the CH in numerical advantage to another level, he who recorded four of his six points on the massive attack.
On the second wave, alongside Lane Hutson, it could be dangerous.
Let’s see what Daniel Brière will do with his 25-year-old center.
In burst
– This is his chance to prove that he can be a good head coach in the NHL.
– David Pastrnak is right.
– I would like to understand why this goal was ultimately refused, but above all, why it took so long to review the sequence.
– Still so comical this Biz Nastybut the guys really aren’t wrong. A little respect for Crosby.
– Nice photo, that.
