Problem is we are assuming we have that choice. He is 1 year away from UFA. I'm ok to move on from him. I'm ok to walk away from Rossi too. But Conroy seems to want to have quality bodies in roles on the team while he evaluates prospects. He also has vets that will go soon too.
$5 mil for Frosts for 6 years when this team is building for 2 of those isn't bad. Backlund and Kadri will be gone in the next 3 for sure IMO. We don't have any centers that will push for top 6 in the system right now.
Rossi at $9mil or more and 18 out vs Frost at $5 mil for 6 years and keeping 18 is the better option for me. If Rossi can get signed for less than $8mil, his value on a better contract might be worth trading Frost at that point
