Yeah Frolik has panned out. But that was pretty lucky. If Folik wasn't playing with Backlund I wonder how that one looks too. These Wideman and Raymond-like band-aids always backfire. Usually the ones that pan out are the low-tier guys like Tanguay (post TB), Bertuzzi, Morrison, Colbourne, Stempniak, and Chad Johnson. Even when the low-tier guys fail (ie, Setoguchi, Galiardi), it's never a burden on the organization. The org doesn't try to repair it by keeping them in the line-up when there's clearly better guys out there, such as the Bollig-Byron situation.
