So if what everyone is saying is true and we get peanuts for him and in fact have to retain salary, what is the point?
Answer: we won’t know til we try.

Certainly seems like Mangiapane and Dube have both earned some looks in the top 9. I’d say between them and Bennett you can definitely replace Frolik’s role.

Do you want Mangiapane to rot on the 4th line his whole career? I think he’s shown more upside than that. You want Dube in the AHL or 4th line? His upside is higher than that. Bennett as one of our few gritty players with skill also arguably needs more ice time.

You gotta make room for your kids at some point. Mangiapane and Dube look ready. Frolik is not miles ahead of them at all.
