Frost is 0.47 (0.49 before joining the Flames)
But 30 games with the Flames, where neither he, nor anyone he was on the ice with, could buy a goal with a chequebook, and suddenly he's a cap dump.

GMs too.
Going into last season Frost was a 25 year old center with 87 points in his previous 150 games (48 point pace).
Farabee was a 24 year old winger with 182 points in 334 career games (45 point pace), and 2 20 goal seasons.
The asking price on each of them during the 2024 offseason was probably a 1st round pick based on their age, production, and draft pedigree. But 50 games later on a bad team with no puck luck and they were see sold at the absolute low point of their value.
