Moreover, what would happen with Poirier now? Did we give up on him? We should start this guy and develop him this or next season. I understand he didn't look ready last year, but his time is coming. I wanted short term bridge-RW for 1-2 yrs but 5years and overpayment for Frolik is not the right move.

I don't completely disagree.
I feel though, that there are enough expiring contracts that he wouldn't be a player we would regret signing for at least 4years.
To add, Frolik does things that the Flames were poor in. PK. Possession. RW.
