I doubt his contract will ever really hurt that much as he's solidly in his prime and there's no reason to think his game will drop off significantly during this entire contract. You always overpay for UFAs so that he's slightly overpaid is to be expected since he was signed as an UFA.
Frolik is the least of our worries. Flames don't really have any crippling long term contracts IMO.

Yes, you are correct- 4.3m cap- Not sure why I thought 5.5m. But yes I agree that you usually over pay for UFA's and I feel like we definitely did with Frolik. I'm sorry, but I still feel Frolik is a 3rd liner all day long ( just my opinion) and wouldn't be seen on many teams second line. I don't hate on the guy, but I still don't like the contract. He also can't seem to put in a full season without being hurt a lot which makes me dislike the contract even more. Anyways, off of topic, back to talking about the draft....
Hope we get Tkachuk.
