Trade Opportunity Emerges Involving Two Young Struggling Players Swapped for Each Other
As the holiday season approaches, real developments are starting to emerge in the NHL trade market, something that often happens this time of year.
Let's take a closer look at Philadelphia.
Several sources believe it's the end of the line for young forward Morgan Frost there.
He's incredibly talented and full of potential, but the "fit" with John Tortorella just doesn't seem to be working.
We've even reached the point where Frost has been a healthy scratch three times in the last four games. For a player of his talent, that's quite remarkable.
Yes, it seems like his time with the Flyers is coming to an end.
Kevin Kurz, a well-respected journalist for The Athletic who covers the Philadelphia Flyers, just published an article on the subject.
He also believes that Frost's time with the Flyers is nearing its end.
An opportunity for the Montreal Canadiens?
Morgan Frost is exactly the type of player Kent Hughes consistently targets.
A young, former first-round pick who undoubtedly has top-6 NHL potential and is fairly far along in his development.
Considering that Kirby Dach doesn't seem to be the solution as the second-line center, that Morgan Frost likely won't cost a fortune to acquire, and that Jake Evans is an excellent third-line center but doesn't necessarily have the offensive upside to be a second-line center..
Do you think the Montreal Canadiens should take a chance on Frost?
It seems like Morgan Frost's time with the Flyers is ending, and the Habs should take advantage.
Many share the same opinion:
The talent is there for Frost!
Considering all this, and knowing that there were many rumors not long ago about Cayden Primeau being sent to the Philadelphia Flyers, do you think there's a potential trade to be made between Montreal and Philly?
And would you make such a deal?
Frost, 25, was a first-round pick by the Flyers in 2017 and has 116 points in 245 career games in the NHL (40 goals).
He earns $2.1 million per year through next summer.
