Morgan Frost signs an $8.75 million deal with the Flames

This just in, the Calgary Flames have signed RFA forward Morgan Frost to a two year contract worth $8.75 million total.

“I think when you first get traded, there’s a big adrenaline rush for the first few games,” said Frost in a prepared statement on the team's website. “It almost takes you back to your first-career game, where everything is new and you’re not really sure how you’ll fit in."

“At least, that’s how it felt with me. You obviously want to leave a good first impression on your teammates and the coaching staff, so I put some extra pressure on myself.

“And now … I feel like I can come into the new season feeling good about how I finished the year – and knowing I can really build on it.”

The 26 year old forward was acquired mid-season in a trade with the Philadelphia Flyers along with Joel Farabee for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier and a pair of draft picks. Frost put up three goals and 12 points in 32 games with the Flames.
