Farabee got 6!! Points in 33 games here making 5$ million for 3 more seasons
Frost got 12 in 33 games
These are horrible numbers for what they are getting paid , and realistically they aren’t in development years - they are reclamation projects
If they reproduce what we saw in almost half a season here this year they are untradeable contracts, and both would just be gone when their contracts expire

The money for the Flames is almost irrelevant unless they have an internal cap. The Flames will be nowhere near the cap at any time during those two players contracts. The money was always going to be relevant the Flyers, they are right up close to the cap this year, knew they had to sign Brink and Drysdale next year and now have to sign Zegras (who they somehow blew more draft capital on acquiring than the Flames theoretically did on acquiring Frost and Farabee).
To say that Frost at 12 points in 33 games is untradable basically means that the Zegras trade should never have happened. These guys will be tradable if the Flames decide they want to trade them. Traceable at their current contracts or trade able with retention. Given that the Flames are in a full blown rebuild either option will not be difficult.
