Frolik isn't a cap dump he brings value to the trade. The Flames would need to send out a contract for cap reasons. Since Frolik is a good asset I avoided sending the Flames best goalie, Defensive, and forward prospects. The prospects are not junk either though so i tired to come up with a deal that hurts the Flames a bit, helps rebuild the Avs system with young players close to NHL ready. The Flames though really push their chips in the middle with this move. They hope Duchene (who scored 3 fewer points than Frolik last year) rebounds and scores 60+pts.

Having Gaudreau, Monahan, Duchene, Tkachuk, Backlund, Bennett up front with the top 5 on the blueline this team would be an extremely tough out
