3 reasons
1) This is not a permanent move, so no worries about Sammy getting caught on the wing.
2) Neither Monahan nor Brouwer are very good puck carriers, which is critical for top lines. Bennett is arguably our best puck carrying forward after Johnny.
3) Frolik plays the center position very well and is extremely responsible. Comparing him to Cammalleri is illogical.
In essence, you don't lose much moving Frolik to 3C but you potentially gain a lot by adding a guy who can carry the mail on the first line.
