Minute wise per game, its not even close.
Also Frolik just got back from a pretty severe injury, plays 1 game which the team won, and then gets a seat again in favor of a call up?
Something just doesn't add up and for me, Frolik is likely to be a much more important player when we get into March/April/playoffs than anyone bouncing in and out of the lineup from Stockton. Particularly on the right side.
I dunno....something else at play here, and i don't think its a good thing.

I don't think it's a bad thing. Peters us probably trying to push some buttons and it's worked before with Frolik or maybe he feels he's not quite 100%. I can't imagine he will be out for more than a game or two and like I said before I think Frolik is on the decline so I can see why Peters isn't just pencilling him in for a regular role on this team if he doesn't play well or 100% healthy. This is the ways it should be IMO as last season Gulutzan was gifting this guy way more ice time than he deserved. The team's record this season kind of speaks to how much better a feel Peters has for this team than Gulutzan so I'm certainly not going to critique a move like this.
