The 4th line is where you still bury your garbage players but the third line is elevated now. Guys like Frolik, Brouwer, Backlund etc are players that can play up and down your roster, 2nd line, 3rd line.
In the end it's rather meaningless.

Plus $4.5 million in a $73 cap world is 2nd/3rd line money. The flames have 3 guys in Backlund, Brouwer and Frolik all very good guys who will play a big role on this team for about $12 mil. IMO that is a quality cap hit
Pribyl, Brouwer, Chaisson give the Flames some serious meat on the right side and I could see a combined total of 40 goals. That is pretty good considering how many we got last year and how many we could get from LW, C and D (and Frolik)
