And while you may feel that it is unlikely that any of Dube, Bennett, Mangiapane, or even Czarnik can take Frolik's role with success, it is probably true that by the time Frolik is 33 or 34, he will have declined and at least one of those players will have improved to the point where it is a substantially net-positive move by the Flames.

We only have him for one more year. Whats wrong with letting him ride out his contract and deal Brodie for the same cap space.
