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 should have thought ahead about this when we drafted Tkachuk. We could have traded up to get Puljujarvi instead and then we’d have tons of cap room to extend Frolik.
