Where does it say that? Didn't read that at all. There were plenty of other teams
interested in Frolik, including the
Penguins.

The Jets got Stafford for 2 years @4.35 M. Stafford was a top line player in the Jet's run to the playoffs, much more of a factor than Frolik. I wouldn't be overly surprised if the Jets gave Frolik and Stafford a similar offer and the first guy to accept got it.

That is why the Jets were reportedly pissed off at the Frolik signing? It was reported Frolik took less money to play in Calgary. The Jets offered more, but Frolik went where he thought opportunity was better. Also, Stafford was signed before the free agency period. He also signed for a shorted term. Frolik was still clearly in the Jets plans and they hoped he would accept their offer.
