Frolik has ok skating ability, ok shot, and just an ok player....He is not creative enough to be playing in OT. He's a north south player and not shifty and lacks the creativity like what you want and need in OT. He has a shoot mentality and those shots are not high percentage scoring chances at all.
Tkachuk and jankowski are better fits in my opinion.
What are everyone's thoughts? I would like to hear a different perspective. I certainly haven't noticed him add much value.

Frolik is one of the few players that if we needed a forward to play defenseman, he would be the guy. He is arguably our best defensive forward on the team. I know that he lacks a little bit of creativity, but he is out there on 3v3's to play defense, because if we have 3 offensive players trying to get creative and score a goal, the chances are the other team gets it and we have no decent defensive coverage whatsoever. For me, I don't mind him out there.
