If they pull off Frost for Wright without adding another major asset, I will change my custom title to "Brière > Pollock".
I really hope I have to do that.

Yep. That’s why Clarke wanted Torts because he knew Torts would shit on players on a regular basis

What is Wrights realistic projection at this point? I haven’t seen him play at all but remember him dropping on draft night when he was projected 1st OA for over a year

I watch him regularly and he does everything pretty damn well on the ice, just not ending up on the scoring sheet. I think he's definitely a 2C still, but i don't think he comes anywhere near a 1C

I think Frost is more likely for a team like Nashville.
That said, I’m tired of hearing about it. This should have happened last year. Everyone needs to move on. He was never the A-level prospect some people thought, it’s never what the league thought of him, and with a lack of high end talent, he was never going to reach a high ceiling. It’s time to move on, and it’s malfeasance that it hasn’t happened already.

They didn’t move Frost because this organization is scared to take a risk like that. So they straddle the line & wait for the decision to make itself for them. Now they’ll probably sell him at a low point for a bag of pucks. I won’t be surprised to see the usual suspect front offices swooping in to get a buy low piece.
I’m not saying Frost is some great player but he can & has been over the stretch of the last few years a useful middle of the lineup player playing in a situation where he isn’t exactly the head coaches’ cup of tea to say the least.

I am definitely one of the guys who thought Frost could have been a low-end top line player, particularly if he was given the right linemates. Whether that was me thinking over valuing his skills or Torts getting in the way of that development, I am not sure…
But this whole Frost saga is annoying because, it’s not like he was given a real opportunity to develop. It’s been a real organizational failure. Nothing changes if you gave him ice time, and not pulled him in and out of the lineup and tried to actually instill confidence into him. And I have doubts if he’s shipped out, and starts to play well, they’ll actually look at themselves in the mirror and see if they did anything wrong.

This is yet another lesson we all learned from baseball. The band of players in the 40th-70th Percentiles is the one the generic eye test struggles the most to evaluate. They all have glaring strengths and weaknesses and no one weighs them well on gut. How those balance out is the entire player evaluation.

I can sense an incoming diatribe about how this organization did nothing wrong re: Frost.

The good news is the Flyers can just take all the brain power and assets they’ve spent on finding elite defensemen…..and shift gears to center!

Frost should be pretty easy to trad since he’s got a low cap hit, no term left and hence no further commitment, and still has some decent potential (debatable) as a two-way middle-six center. Just get him in a good system, and he’s going to produce.
The reason a trade hasn’t happened yet is probably because the team’s got no depth at center and they’re set on doing a player-for-player swap. If they were open to just draft picks, this deal would’ve been done by now.
