I think the benefit with frolik is that Treliving probably doesn’t feel the need to move him but that he could be traded if the value is there. I think he’s a fantastic player to have in the bottom six and that was an area of weakness on the team last year. With the additions of guys like Lindholm, Neal, Ryan and Czarnik... plus the young guys like Foo, Eat Bread, Klimchuk and Dube who could be ready to make the jump... there’s a decent chance the flames will have plenty of options to choose from to make sure the team has more depth. As suggested above, Treliving could see if anyone takes the opportunity and moves frolik further down the depth chart to the point where he could be traded.
The benefit with frolik is that he can be effective on a lower line as well because his two-way game is so solid. Brouwer and versteeg seemed out of place in a 3rd/4th line role on this team. Frolik won’t be.
