I haven't watched him much before this year so I'm thinking his injury maybe set him back a little.

I can tell you that at the time of the signing there were many Jet fans livid that Cheveldayoff wasn't able to re-sign Frolik. Consensus was he was worth the 4.3 mil but management was too cheap to give him the contract.
He's not the most physical player, but he does battle and is hands down our best PKer. The injury definitely hurt his year, but he's still managed 2 hat tricks even with his inconsistent offense this season.
If he had a better shot he'd be a legit 2nd liner instead of elite 3rd liner.
