Hanifin and Rasmus are both prime examples.
Doesn't apply in this scenario.
I could see Frost traded at the TDL, or next summer though if the situation calls for it.

I was being sarcastic but really, if we are tradng a guy on a five year deal after only three years it seems weird to me. There's a lot of hindsight. Flames were heading into the season with a rookie goalie and a backup, with only two veteran defencemen. Who knows what Wolf's season would be like if they went with just Weegar and a pile of young guys and cast offs.
