Fraser is sloooooooooooooooooow

[linebackeru]

My god, looks like he's skating in mud. Salvador with a bad turnover as well leading to goal. Offense seems to be attacking and forechecking more.

fraser is not built for the new nhl. yeah you need a physical d man but you need to be able to skate and move.

give me puck movers over bangers any day of the week

 

[devs30rko]

i don't even ask for a true offensive d man... just someone who can move.

Just workout the trade with Leafs: Rolston, Fraser, Salvador for Kaberle and someone we can demote to remove sal from cap space.

Its not even how slow he is that bothers me the most. The way he tends to panic in certain situations is what scares me the most.

 

[devs30rko]

agreed. everyone gets on him for the mistake in philly where you could see the panic on his face.

but that stuck out because it was playoffs.

remember he had almost the exact same giveaway against the rangers at pru with about a month left in the season?

 

[DevFan60]

If he continues to play and skate like this, he will end up in AHL or will be traded.

I think I was wrong about Fraser. Early on I saw him make mistakes but thought he had the ability to work through it and correct those errors. I think what bothers me is that he is making the same mistakes time and again. I cannot accept that.

 

[devs30rko]

spot on..

he never learned from the rookie mistakes it seemed. he was the same player at the start of last year that he is now it seems

 

[Nasty_Magician]

Sounds a lot like Colin White.

[Indian Chief]

Haha, that's great.

I always wondered, if Colin White didn't have that horrific injury, what would he have been as a player?

 

[nj_cup]

even before his injury i still think colin white was a lil soft esp for his size. he never lived up to his hype. i dont think his game would of been much different then now. noway should he be back after this contract
