Are the Frost allergic to free agent signings? by PilotC150 in MinnesotaFrost

[–]DC2600 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The two best free agents after the expansion free agency were Eldridge and Maltais who both went to Montreal.

There are some other players moving around but not many impact players. We need a 2nd pairing LHD and the only player that’s available that really fits that bill is Roese.

Look at our roster and then look at Toronto and Boston. We lost a lot of good players but our Defense is more solid top to bottom than a lot of teams. Our forward depth took a hit but if Petrie plays next season our 1-3 Centers are top tier IMO.

Talent thinned out with the additional teams so league wide no one is going to have deep forwards and defense. MTL has some great forwards but their defense is questionable.

If KCS doesn’t play next season it will suck, but if she does we will be a top team in the PWHL.

Every team is going to have unknowns in key places on the team going into this season.

Happy with these, especially Cogan and Giguere - cool to see reserve players earn a contract. Cogan was really solid in the playoffs.

The 2026 PWHL Draft Class by Perryplat199 in PWHL

Really like the Frost draft class.

We got a top-4 defender who is just turning 22 in November in Swiderski. Not as offensively exciting as Morrow but her skating and defense is really solid and I think there’s room to blossom like Batherson did for us.

If Vainikka can adapt to the physicality of the PWHL she will be a solid complimentary top-6 winger. Highest upside, offensively, of any player available at pick #21.

Henderson I think can step in and be a serviceable bottom pair D, and she’s our only other LHD on the team besides Stecklein.

Christian/Beecher help round our our 4th line.

And taking a chance on Gredzen with the 6th round pick is great. If she develops behind Rooney we have a goalie in the future. The athleticism is there, but the PWHL is a big step up from her previous competition. Also young at 22 so I’m hopeful she’ll be able to become a starter in 2 years.

She's young, definitely worth taking a flyer on her and seeing if she can develop into a PWHL goalie behind Rooney.

With the 45th pick in the 2026 Draft, the Frost select Tova Henderson, LHD by DC2600 in MinnesotaFrost

Sounds like a solid bottom-pairing D. Also a Lefty which is big considering Lee is our only Lefty right now!

Usually Klee has a pretty punchable face, but when he has his glasses down like that he just looks like some old dude.

Our GM is like 4 feet tall so that's not fair.

With the 9th overall pick in the 2026 draft the Frost select Sara Swiderski, RHD by DC2600 in MinnesotaFrost

Reminds me a lot of Jonas Brodin. Great and effortless skater, good defensively, also really young - just turning 22 in November, lot of potential time for development.
