I’m agreeing with you that he didn’t deserve a long-term deal, but he’s a different player than Jeannot, because he actually has talent. Jeannot didn’t have a single season before or after his breakthrough that would paint him as having any offensive skill- that season was a true outlier. Frederic was drafted in the first-round (though that was not warranted), and he can actually skate. Can’t defend his season this year, but I think he’ll bounce back.
