It's giving the enormous contracts to guys over 30 that becomes a problem. Wayne Simmonds would probably be a fine signing for whichever team gets him if he agrees to 3 years and $3.15 million per, but he'll probably get much more than that -- closer to Neal's terms.
The Flames need to start being more aggressive on guys in their mid-20s. They need to sign more guys like Frolik.

This is why I think Connolly is a good complementary add. He could be the next Frolik/ Value signing only hes bigger. Hes younger than Zucker . One year older than Johnny and costs nothing so we can go big game hunting for a C If we can move some salary out for picks. He might even compliment the first line with his size thats not out of the question either. I have a feeling the ask would be in the 4.0- 4.5 mill range so if Frolik wants out, you could let him go and save cap technically and re-coup a pick or you keep both and Frolik can form the best 3rd line in the league with Backlund after we aquire a 2c or 1c with our first + Brodie, and prospect, etc.
