Guy has 9 goals in 25 games playing 12 minutes a game. For a goal starved bottom 6, I'd trade others before I'd trade Frolik at this point.

It sounds like the guy still wants to be here and even though his agent went about it in a not so ideal way, I wouldn't trade Frolik because of that. For what he brings to the team and the type of guy he is, this can be overlooked. If he helps this team win, keep him.
How many of those 9 goals are empty netters? 3? The team has a better record with Frolik out of the lineup than when he is in so is he really helping the team win? Now he is publically outing via his agent.

His contract hurts this team over the summer so if you can get a decent asset for him you do it. Don’t trade him for a bad return to dump him but in my opinion of another team would take that cap hit from the Flames I would support
Him being moved for a 3rd rounder or something like that.
