Morgan Frost NHL Upside

[forsbergfan]

Morgan Frost tore up the OHL this year. What should we be realistic expecting from him once he becomes an NHLer? Is he another Brayden Point-type player? Or less upside?

I am also curious about this. If I can expand on this question without getting to far from the original, how does he compare to the 2018 stock?

He?ll probably by in the O again next year, before a year in the A after that. It will be a slow progression to 30 goals and 50 assists 5 years from now. For a league like mine, minors have to hit it big in order to be promoted and kept. I will be trading him before that to get something out of him.

You think he's an eventual 80 point player?

If everything goes right for him, yeah he could reach it. He improved substantially last year, let’s see what he does for his swan song in the O.

dobber has frost as 75 upside, 40 3yp. seems highly variable to me.

Considering I have Frost on my team, it is understandable to guess 5 points higher than Dobber. I’m very loyal.

Frost scored 63 points in 67 games in his draft year then 112 pts in the same number of games this year.

Thats a significant increase from draft year to draft year +1.

I would like to have seen him score more points in his draft year for me to say he has top line upside. I think his year this year was largely due to being on a stacked Greyhound squad. And if Frost plays with the Greyhounds again next year I can see him putting up another huge year. These huge years after the kid has been drafted are not as impressive or meaningful as the draft year.

Frost's points comparisons in draft year and draft year +1 are quite comparable to Adam Brooks when he was in Regina. Last year he only had 19 points in 57 games for the Marlies.

So I am nervous as a Flyers fan that the expectations for Frost are too high right now and that he only will turn into a 2nd/3rd liner with 60 points in his best year.

Points only would you rank Frost higher then guys like Farabee, Bokk, Kravtsov who should go around 10-15 this year?
