Frolik doesn't. I'd rather have the cap space.

The last thing the team needs or wants is cap space. The floor is more of a concern and Frolik has a floor friendly contract.
Also they don’t have their first pick and want to avoid the embarrassment of a draft lottery win by finishing as high as possible to at least cut down the odds, so someone needs to play against top lines.
Frolik is a good hockey player, who can eventually be re-moved for more picks next year when tanking actually makes sense for Ottawa. I am sure Ottawa would be interested in him AS A PIECE in a much larger deal.
Without Stone they are the worst team in the league hands down. He is their best player and it isn’t close.
