I wonder if there is much of a market for Morgan Frost?
26 years old. 6'0" 193lbs
Currently on year 1 of 2 for AAV $4.375M.
Currently second on the team in scoring with 8 points in 18 games.
54% on faceoffs
Leading the team in corsi (63%) and second in expected goals (57.9%)
+7 on ice goal differential for the last placed team in the league
There is a strong rumored market for centers this season and I think Frost is currently playing at a top 6 level. There was just that one report that Vancouver is looking for a top 6 C, but they want an RFA aged one. Well Frost is damn close. He's signed for another year at a fairly reasonable contact and he will be a 28 year old UFA at the end of the deal.
The Flames gave up a second round pick in the trade for him and Farabee and I think they could easily recoup one if they trade him this year. Personally, despite his relatively impressive play this season, I do not see him as a core piece of the future.
