His AHL season was not terrific? Did you look closer at his numbers and then look at them in context? 2nd in the team in scoring, with 29 points, one point off the team lead. 2nd in the team in goals with 13, two off the team lead. And he did it in 16 less games than the team leader. Yes, he had a really good first year on a really ####ty minor league team. The Flyers are super high on this kid for good reason. He's a player. The reason Farabee made the team this season is because LW is a weakness for the Flyers. Frost is a center, and the Flyers want him playing in the middle, which is why he was held back. We grab Frost I am confident we will be getting at worst a 2nd line center. Kid has all the skills to be a top end pivot.
