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.

Colborne scored 19 last year and is a pretty good penalty killer himself. Joe's career PPG- 0.45. Frolik's PPG- 0.46. And big Joe is younger with more upside IMO but is not and shouldn't be a solid 2nd liner. I was just trying to state the opinion that Frolik is more of a 3rd liner and his contract is kinda expensive and may haunt us down the line is all. It's just my opinion that you should be paying bonafied 2nd liners 5.5 m for 4-5 years instead of a floater who is best suited on a 3rd line and has 3rd line career stats.
