Last season, the Flames acquired Morgan Frost<\/a> from Philadelphia in the hopes that he could become a viable option for them down the middle.\u00a0 However, he struggled following the swap last season with just 12 points in 32 games, resulting in the two sides settling on another bridge deal, one that pays $4.375MM per season through 2026-27.\u00a0 This season hasn\u2019t gone much better as the 26-year-old has 12 goals and 15 assists in 56 contests.<\/p>\n

With Calgary rebuilding and Frost a year from free agency, Chris Johnston reports in his latest trade board for The Athletic (subscription link<\/a>) that the team is still trying to figure out what direction to take with the center.\u00a0 In a market that doesn\u2019t have a lot of middlemen available, Calgary could be in a good position to land a quality return for Frost.\u00a0 On the other hand, it\u2019s believed that the Flames aren\u2019t looking to embark on a long-term rebuilding process so he\u2019s young enough to still be part of a longer-term core.\u00a0 They have a few more weeks to determine which route they\u2019re going to want to take.<\/p>\n

More from Calgary:<\/p>\n

Earlier today, the team announced<\/a> that Jonathan Huberdeau<\/a> will miss the rest of the season and will undergo hip resurfacing surgery. GM Craig Conroy told reporters including Sportsnet 960\u2019s Pat Steinberg (Twitter link<\/a>) that the injury is one that the veteran has been dealing with throughout the year.\u00a0 Additionally, given the significance of the injury and surgery, he\u2019s not comfortable putting a timeline for a return.\u00a0 That suggests that there\u2019s at least a possibility that Huberdeau won\u2019t be available for the start of training camp in the fall.
\nWith the Flames well out of the playoff picture, it would be reasonable to think that they\u2019d give rookie blueliner Zayne Parekh<\/a> some extended minutes down the stretch. However, that won\u2019t be the case as Sportsnet\u2019s Eric Francis relays<\/a> that Calgary will have the defenseman on a load-management plan for the remainder of the season in an effort to manage his minutes.\u00a0 Parekh has played in just 13 games with the Flames this season while also having brief stops with AHL Calgary on a conditioning stint and Canada for the World Juniors.\u00a0 While it will make for a pretty quiet rookie season overall, the team clearly feels that this approach will be better for Parekh in the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Brian La Rose | at February 5, 2026 10:00 pm Last season, the Flames acquired Morgan Frost…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5124],"tags":[895,26,5294,896,5,7621,4527,4,3326],"class_list":{"0":"post-448303","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-calgary-flames","8":"tag-calgary","9":"tag-calgary-flames","10":"tag-calgaryflames","11":"tag-flames","12":"tag-hockey","13":"tag-jonathan-huberdeau","14":"tag-morgan-frost","15":"tag-nhl","16":"tag-zayne-parekh"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116021955433641135","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
