RE 10-11: Colin Fraser

The Edmonton Oilers badly needed Colin Fraser. In fact, they needed three of them. However, based on the price I don't think Oiler fans should look a gift horse in the mouth.Colin Fraser is a very important player for the 2010-11 Edmonton Oilers. Toughness, penalty killing, faceoffs (many ownzone) and mentoring young men who are stepping into their first NHL seasons.He's more than the new Brodziak (Fraser has more grit) or the new Marty Reasoner (Fraser is younger) and if he can play the role well (3rd line center, checker, penalty killer) Colin Fraser will be a fan favorite and an extremely valuable part of the team.•Boxcars: 70gp, 7-12-19•Shots: 92•Plus Minus: +6•Corsi (Rel): -2.4 (8th among regulars)•GF-GA ON: 25-20 (at 5x5)•5x5/60: 2.01 (6th among regulars)•5x4/60: 0.00 (as you would expect)•Quality of Competition: 12th F (easiest)•Quality of Teammates: 9th F (third line calibre)•FO %: 48.8% in 445 faceoffs•Cap Hit: $825,000 times 2 seasons What do these numbers tell us?...
