NHL Shockwaves: Calgary Flames, Florida Panthers, and Arizona at the Center of Game-Changing Rumors!
When you peek behind the curtain at the Calgary Flames’ lineup, one thing stands out—a distinct scarcity of centers who can really hold the fort down. With Ryan Strome’s hefty $5 million contract winding down and whispers swirling that he might be on the move come trade deadline, the Flames’ depth down the middle is looking pretty fragile. Mikael Backlund, locked into a two-year deal with a no-movement clause, could also attract suitors, adding to the uncertainty. Enter Morgan Frost. Poised to hit unrestricted free agency after this season, Frost is generating serious buzz. Coming off the best offensive stretch of his career, he’s not exactly lighting the league on fire with flashy totals, but he’s the quintessential middle-six center many teams would kill for. The real question—is ink worth putting to paper for an extension? Calgary’s GM Craig Conroy might soon find himself on the phone with Frost if early-season sparks fly. Curious about the Flames’ balancing act and Frost’s future?
Morgan Frost has been in the rumor mill, but should the Calgary Flames look at extending him?
Travis Yost of TSN: The Calgary Flames are a little thin down the middle. Ryan Strome is entering the final year of his contract at a $5 million cap hit, and will likely be moved by the trade deadline. Mikael Backlund has a two-year deal and a no-movement clause, but teams could be calling at the deadline as well.
