Colborne is coming off a 44 pt in 76 game season with 1 year RFA. say 2.5 M for his RFA year and 5M x3 for his 3 ufa years.... 17.5 for 4 years.
How is Frolik a good deal at that price and nobody sees bigger stronger Colborne as anywhere near that deal.
The reason is that Frolik was and incredibly bad deal.

Very easy answer:
1. Consistency of results - Frolik is worth that because he's put up those numbers multiple times prior to signing that deal, he's proven that he can do it consistently. Colborne has not yet done that, therefore doesn't deserve the pay day yet.
2. Colborne may have put up a handful of more points in one season, but the rest of his game isn't close to Frolik's. And for a change, we are in a situation where we can actually prove that, versus it being a debatable point in regards to the players two way games. Frolik's + 1 on while putting up .5 ppg and Colborne's -19 while putting up about the same number of points is very telling given they play on the same team, and if anything, Frolik got tougher ice time.
