That's not good enough for a 1st round pick. He needs to produce at NHL level.
Hoping to issue a mea culpa post 2022-23 season re Frosty the Goalman!

Maybe maybe not. Kelce expected to play in the opener and don’t forget about Don Henley.

This is out of context. What we're talking about is Frost's commitment to becoming a better player. You and others are ignoring what he's actually done to this point to get better and hanging it on comments made in an interview. Why doesn't what he has done to improve actually matter to this point? I think we all agree that he needs to produce but that was present without the interview. Criticism due to perceptions formed from an interview is beyond ridiculous.

Kind of strange. When/how did the injury occur?
BINGO!

he was skating last week so it was an off-ice training injury at some point here over the last week or so.

Really sucks.

I am a professional investor for a living. And part of my job is reading between the lines when management speaks about the business.
The interview was notable for what he said and what was missing in my opinion as an analyst.
Much has been made on blogosphere regarding both his skill as well as strength, or lack thereof, on puck and shot.
I just expected more granularity on his efforts to improve there.
See Tyson Foerster's interview as an example. Or Tyrese Maxey.
He may have put in the work, or he could have been Ben Simmons.
No one knows. The interview didn't address.

LOL So as a professional investor, do you understand the difference between a CEO or executive of a business with calculated and planned words and a young 23 year old hockey player? Every young kid has a different personality. Some are comfortable in interviews. Some aren't and are awkward.

What has been given in the blogosphere as a reason for why his shot wasn't 100%. Anything to do with his shoulder injury?

Again, the issue that you don't seem to comprehend is that you're assuming something based on an interview. Not taking into account the reports on the players such as by his coaching staff where they said that Frost was doing everything he was asked.

It's the equivalent of ignoring the stock and earnings report of a company and just reading between the lines of management speaking.

You refute yourself with the comment of no one knows.

Judge Frost by his play on the ice.
