Interesting and timely article at the Athletic today comparing Farabee vs Frost's forechecking abilities. I post this because it seems we have a split in here with some of us liking Frost and some liking Farabee as a player to add in a potential Gaudreau deal.
I know more about Frost and he would be my first choice although Farabee would be a nice addition also.
The sample size is small but the beat writer spent a fair amount of time with this and it sounds opposite to what some might have thought about Frost being a slow, offensive only player.

Frost’s pre-NHL reputation didn’t appear to fit the mold of a plus forechecker, but it seems like he might be just that. One of the key strengths of Farabee’s game was supposed to be forechecking, but if anything, it was a weakness in 2019-20.
