Sign Frolik, and when a kid is ready for his job, trade him.
It really isn't that hard.
Edit: you are attempting to justify Chevy's position, simply on a 4 year vs 5 year issue. Which is really no issue at all.

I'm no chevy fan at all.. I hate that he signed pavelec long term, and i hate his love affair with him. I dont like all his moves but on this one I def think there's a huge difference between 3, and even to some extent 4 years vs 5. Frolik simply isn't a corner piece of this team. He isn't someone that Jets should offer a 5 year deal too. The Flames were willing to do that, and that makes sense more for Calgary and Frolik.
to answer why not sign him and trade him, well, what happens if Froliks production tanks? Or you can't find a willing partner? Lots of variables. Short term this makes the Jets weaker than signing him of course but this is a long term move.
