I do like that this was probably the most affordable top 9 centre under the age of 27 that the flames could acquire and he isn’t a rental player. Any of Cozens, Zegras or McTavish would have cost much more. I think Frost is less of a risk compared to Cozens or Zegras even though those two likely have a higher upside. It was always about the acquisition cost IMO. As long as it didn’t cost too much, acquiring a centre was a smart move. Conroy ended up buying low on a player that has spent lots of his professional career under Tortorella. I think he has more to give under a different coach.
Hoping both Frost and Farabee catch on quick with the team and hit the ground running when they get into the line up on Saturday.
