Well if you don't want to pay players for what they've done on other teams then the Flames would sit out of the UFA market and they couldn't sign Hamilton to his deal. They are better today than they were a week ago, all due to paying players for what they've done on other teams. I'm glad Treliving doesn't think the way you do.
As for Frolik, everyone already knows he can play anywhere from the 1st line to to the 3rd line. Read quotes from the Jets where they said when they needed a line to get going they would put Frolik and that line and it would start going. He's a very versatile, responsible player that can play anywhere in your top 9. And he signed for less than what many people believed he would. Kind of a strange contract to get up in arms about, especially since he's only 27. Great signing.
edit: I actually thought I was in the Frolik signing thread. My bad, sorry for derailing.
