However the reason you move Frolik instead of Bennett is because Bennett's likely $2M cheaper next year, has multiple years of control left, and is 8 years younger than Frolik. Not because Bennett is head and shoulders better than Frolik.

Frolik is a better player than most fans seem to give him credit for, and this is doubly so at least for Brodie, but I don't see anything in his game that I can't see Bennett, Mangiapane, or Dube providing with more opportunity to grow and develop.
The real problem, of course, is Stone and Neal (though I think this is less BT's fault than Stone). It's funny to read through the Stone re-signing thread now.
