Let's hope that's a system issue and the Flames coaches can put them in a good spot to succeed.
Neither have hit their breakout age yet either, so that's good! Still room for growth!

I don't think they've been that sheltered actually.
According to JFresh card Farabee was 60th percentile for competition and Frost was in 42nd percentile.
So not playing against top lines but I wouldn't say heavily sheltered either.
Farabee's struggles this year seem entirely shooting percentage related, his average at 5v5 the 4 years before this were ~14% and this year it's ~7%. Classic buy low opportunity that's helped by the fact the coach doesn't like him and he's making $5M.
Frost is PDO case this year...he's over 54% xGF at 5v5 this year but has an actual GF% of 44%. His on ice shooting isn't even that bad at 9.9% but he has a .883 save percentage at 5v5, tough to look good when you can't get a save
