He's a really expensive 3rd liner who's contract will be pretty bad by years 4-5.

Well he scored 19 the year before last and scored 15 in 64 last year. So yeah, he's pretty much a 20 goal scorer. And we're talking about a 28 year old. It's not like he's old or should be expected to decline anytime soon. We've seen players have bounce back years or even career years in their 30's. Assuming his contract will be bad in a few years seems a stretch. Is it possible? Sure. Is it possible he actually gets a bigger role under a new coach? Yeah.
Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if the next coach uses Frolik on the PP more and Frolik has a solid 20/50 season while being excellent defensively. I think he can be a 2nd line winger on a good team as a complimentary winger who is the defensive conscience with more offensive players.
