That's the team we're trying to beat and he wasn't very effective against them last year. I would love if Frolik proves me wrong and turns out to be our Justin Williams. I'm just not banking on it.
And considering a great possession players in Jooris got pushed out of the lineup for Bollig/Raymond, I wouldn't bank on that either. The only way to rid ourselves of bad possession players is to get them off the roster.
In other news, we're just a Czech Centre away from icing a Czech line:
Hudler-Frolik
Smid-Nakladal

And this is what drives me crazy about people and advanced stats. Look I like Jooris, I think he's all heart, but if he's in the lineup merely to drive a stat then you're missing the point. In the case of Bollig he was very good in the playoffs. Jooris is a streaky player and nothing more then a at best depth 4th line guy. He doesn't have the consistency in his game to match his effort.
