The Montreal Canadiens should be on the hunt for some forward help before the start of the 2026-27 season.
One specific area that the Canadiens should look to improve is at the center position. When looking at trade candidates around the NHL, Calgary Flames center Morgan Frost stands out as a very intriguing potential option for the Habs to consider.

With the Flames being in the middle of a rebuild, questions about Frost’s future in Calgary have come up this off-season. The fact that he is entering the final season of his contract in 2026-27 and is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA) has also played a role in him being the rumor mill.
Although Frost would not be the biggest of additions for the Canadiens, he could provide them with some help down the middle. The 27-year-old center is coming off a solid 2025-26 season with the Flames, as he scored a career-high 22 goals and posted 43 points. With numbers like these, he would have the potential to be a strong pickup for the Canadiens’ middle six if acquired.
Ultimately, with the Canadiens needing some forward help, it could make sense for them take a chance on a player like Frost. There is always the chance that the 2017 first-round pick could improve his offense a bit in Montreal, too, as he would have more support around him than he does in Calgary.
