On a good team, Frolik should be slotted on a third line in a shut down role who can play up when necessary & im sure this is what Treliving anticipated when he signed the player. Frolik has brought to th Flames what they should have reasonably expected.

Bennett, on the other hand, was thought to be pretty close to as sure as you could expect to be an impact top 2 center. It was not uncommon to find people, fans and hockey journalist/bloggers/scouts commenting on how long it would take him to surpass Monahan. Backlund wasn't projectd to be the second line center.

I'm glad to see Nennett has found a role and is making solid contributions to the team. Sure would be nice to see him bury a few more/get a bounce or two go his way. A Gordie Howe hat trick would have been epic last night.
