Thread: Early Impressions
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DefenseFirst</b></div><div>Nosek is good. Don’t move him.

Frederic has another gear. We see it from time to time. Weird that everyone is losing their mind over a few good shifts in a pre-season game but completely forget that frederic has made a significant impact against actual NHL teams in the past. I think both are worth more to Boston than whatever they would get for them in trade, which honestly might look something like these trades seen here.</div></div>

I'm fine with keeping Nosek but completely disagree about Frederic. He has been in the lineup for two years regularly and has barely shown any improvement. Fringe 4th liner with almost no offense to offer, what is that "another gear"? There was a time where he was (slightly) better but Coyle and Smith did most of the job on that line. Otherwise, pretty much nothing other than killing offense on most shifts in two years. What "significant impact" has he made in the past?

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>I don't understand why people think Backes isn't worth anything. The guy was playing at a nearly .60 P/GP place last year, he was just dealing with medical issues. I find it hard to believe that teams have no use for a guy who plays a nearly a 50pt pace, is a great locker room guy and brings a physical presence to every game he's in. For whatever reason Krejci and Backes are seen as trash/cap dumps, but both are still productive players all things considered.</div></div>

the problem isn't how backes plays, we all love him when hes out there squashing heads and being his beast self. His role as a third line leadership guy kicking in maybe 30 to 40 pts just isn't worth 6 million bucks. he was never a great skater and is getting slower. I like him and if he was 4.25 million a season most people would too.
