Philly or any other team "seeing enough" is irrelevant anyway. The league is full of guys who improved greatly after a change of scenery. Its not like the Flyers know what they are doing.

The league is also full of players who did nothing after a change of scenery.
The Flames always have wizards as Gm's and are always winning these trades, yet long term are one of the least successful franchises over the last 20 years.
We took on 10-11 million (depending on what we resign Frost for) in salary to acquire guys who are lower 2nd liners/3rd liners on good teams and also gave up a 2nd round pick for the luxury of doing so.
And since we have done so Fabaree has 5pts in 18 games and is a minus 3 while Frost has 6 pts in 18 games and is -4.
They have been below third line replacement level. And we traded a 2nd and have to pay them. Philly is winning this trade as of today.
Its a fine gamble to take , but so far its a relative fail. Theres a reason a terrible team like Philly wanted these two gone. It isnt always that they cant evaluate talent. Sometimes the players just arent that good
