It all depends what the purchaser values, but if I had to bet, I’d say the Flames are probably looking at a similar return. Frolik is a good player. The salary cap is $81.5M.
^have you watch Roy?

As mentioned in other thread on Vegas deal:
"^Roy fell in his draft year, ranked in the 2nd rnd by almost everyone, and leading up to his draft yr as 1st talent. He subsequently crushed in his 2 yrs post draft, had a good WJC tourney in there as well. He was nearly a PPG in AHL playoffs as well, so Vegas did well in this trade as well."
