| Organizational Comments: |
What GRC says: 2008-09: Pare forced his way into the lineup with a torrid first half and just continued to get better from there. A slight dip in his numbers can be attributed to both of his normal linemates missing significant portions of the second half with injuries. The diminutive center continued to excel, tying Abdelkader for the team record in rookie goals with 24. Frankie needs to work on his quickness for next season, but with a new NHL contract in his pocket, should have no shortage of motivation.
Summer 2008: Pare put up some big numbers in the QMJHL, garnering league MVP and a first all star team birth. It remains to be seen whether his game will translate to the pro level where he has less time and space to make plays. If he can make the adjustment he should bring some skill to the team. |
