Morgan Frost emerges as top trade target for Montreal Canadiens

Calgary Flames forward Morgan Frost is being cited as a primary option for the Montreal Canadiens to bolster their second‑line centre. Frost, a 27‑year‑old left‑handed centre, recorded 22 goals and 43 points in 82 games last season and posted a 57 % face‑off success rate.

He is in the final year of his contract with Calgary and would cost roughly US$4.3 million against the Canadiens’ salary cap, with the added flexibility of becoming an unrestricted free agent next summer. Analysts suggest his experience could provide immediate depth for Montreal while the club evaluates its younger prospects.

The speculation follows broader NHL trade chatter, including interest in other players such as Dylan Larkin, but Frost’s recent production and contract situation make him a realistic "Plan B" acquisition for the Canadiens.
