Flames Sign Morgan Frost To Two-Year Extension

July 2, 2025 at 5:16 pm CDT | by Gabriel Foley 16 Comments

The Calgary Flames have signed centerman Morgan Frost to a two-year, $8.75MM contract extension per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman. The deal was first reported by Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK News. It will carry an annual cap hit of $4.38MM and an up-front signing bonus of $500,000 per PuckPedia.

The Flames acquired Frost alongside Joel Farabee partway through this season in a deal that sent Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick (Shane Vansaghi), and a 2028 seventh-round pick back to the Philadelphia Flyers.

Frost quickly slotted into Calgary’s third-line center role, but struggled to maintain the heights that he had reached with the Flyers. After beginning the year with 11 goals and 25 points in 49 games with Philadelphia, Frost finished it off with just 12 points in 32 games with Calgary. Despite the dip in scoring, he remained an active presence in all other areas of the ice, recording a positive faceoff win-rate, 21 blocked shots, and 34 hits with the Flames.

Frost’s cumulative 37 points on the season fall just shy of the pair of strong seasons he posted in Philadelphia over the last two years. Playing through his first full year in the NHL in 2023-24, Frost managed an impressive 19 goals and 46 pionts in 81 games while splitting time between the second and third lines. He followed that performance up with 13 goals and 41 points in 71 games last season, this time in a much more clear-cut third-line role.

There seems to be heaps of untapped offensive upside in Frost’s game. He’s recorded 147 points in 310 games in the NHL, to go with 48 points in 65 career games in the AHL. He was even tracking for a 50-point season to kick off this year, before being knocked off course by a what seemed to be a sudden trade. That fact could make this short-term deal an interesting bet for the Flames. He will enter unrestricted free agency on the other side of this contract, providing Frost a chance to either earn a pay raise in Calgary or find new pastures should he flame out. He’ll head for the third-line center role on the Flames lineup next season, behind Nazem Kadri and Mikael Backlund.

    Yikes. Like spending fifty bucks on a pair of jeans at Walmart.

    So many bad GM’s overpaying for average or slightly below average Joes who have little impact on a team’s success.

    Trotz, Yzerman, Fitzgerald, Conroy, Lou (before he retired), Allvin/Rutherford, Botterill/Francis, Grier, Sweeney, and Briere are “building” crap teams that will never get past the 2nd round as long as they are GMs.

      How do you determine a contract to be an overpay at the time of signing? Is it based on mathematical data or simply your opinion?

      You take the available info and you analyze market value vs. cost of acquisition.

      Same thing most people do when they have multiple options when filling up their tank.

      Instead of ridiculing other opinions, As if you are employed by an NHL team, Why don’t you share your brilliant observations?

      Yep, didn’t think you’d respond. Like most of the yappers around here you attempt to pass off opinion as fact, not understanding a thing about economics. You have not analyzed any market value vs cost of acquisition. If you had, you would be quick to share so you could tell me to shut up. Instead you avoid a response. Well played Ted.

    Imagine being so confused by the concept of opinions and why everyone else has them that you demand mathematical data from the future.

    There is no denying Frost’s puck skills and vision on the ice. And maybe he could bloom late into a 60 point player. But he had that opportunity in Philly playing with talents like Tippett and Konecny and it didn’t happen.

    I wonder if his vision issues due to migraines have derailed any hope of a step forward in his career. He’s a likeable kid. Hope he can put that behind him.
