After a four‑game winning streak, the Calgary Flames have started preliminary talks with centre Morgan Frost about a contract extension. Frost, 27, carries a $4.375 million cap hit and posted 22 goals and 43 points last season, with seven points in the Flames’ first 11 games of 2026‑27. General manager Craig Conroy and Frost’s agent Darren Ferris discussed the deal on Monday, eyeing a possible three‑year, $6.3‑$7.7 million AAV contract amid rising cap space and a thin centre market. The extension would keep Frost, acquired from the Flyers in January 2025, in Calgary’s rebuilding core.
The Philadelphia Flyers are actively seeking a proven center to bolster their middle lines, with trade talks circling Ottawa’s Ridly Greig, Chicago’s Frank Nazar, and 21‑year‑old Oliver Moore.

Greig, a 2020 draft pick, has logged one goal and two assists in 10 games, while Nazar posts three goals and an assist in nine outings and could rise to a second‑line role if Chicago trades Anton Frondell’s pick. The push reflects Philly’s urgency to upgrade its center depth.
