Calgary Flames Sign Morgan Frost to Two-Year, $8.75 Million Extension

It ties Frost to a second-line centre role with top power-play duties in a youth-driven push to improve a low-scoring attack.

Overview

  • The two-year extension carries a $4.375 million annual average value with a $3.875 million base salary, a $500,000 signing bonus, no trade protection in Year 1 and an eight-team no-trade list in Year 2.
  • Frost recorded three goals and 12 points over 32 games since joining Calgary in January while winning 50.5 percent of his faceoffs.
  • Management plans to deploy Frost as a second- or third-line centre and a regular on the top power-play unit to help address the Flames’ offensive shortfall.
  • General Manager Craig Conroy said Frost and other young forwards must elevate their production if Calgary is to return to the postseason after narrowly missing the playoffs.
  • The deal underscores Calgary’s strategy of investing cap space in under-26 core talent rather than pursuing high-priced free agents following last season’s tiebreaker exit.
