Morgan Frost needed this year to be a big year. There is no mistake that the former first-round pick was on the verge of being yet another Philadelphia Flyers top prospect that eventually found himself away from the organization or buried in the minors because successful development didn't happen fast enough.

At 23 years old, Frost came into this season knowing that he needed to show something. Anything to stick around and be part of this young core that the Flyers were hopefully building at the time (maybe Chuck Fletcher didn't do it on purpose, but he brought in some good and young players). The Aurora, Ont. native even recognized how he got away with a lot of mediocre work ethic in junior hockey and it translated to the start of his career.
