I think he is though.
Every line he's on seems to be better once he's off it. Granted he played with some jam on the Backlund line and filled in in a pinch... but that line was worse off and improved immensely once Frolik was back.
The fourth line seemed to play better with him off it, and right now the the third line looks all out of sync.
He seems to be the common denominator. He's been okay in spots and has played a few solid games here and there... but to me he's still a black hole most of the time.
I hope he's ok but I think the lineup looks a lot better without him. If he wasn't injured I'd have much preferred he be sitting in the press box at this point.
