It's a real devil you know situation with Frolik. You know if you keep him where he has to play to find success, but you also know for Frolik being successful ultimately may come at the cost of the team being successful.
I think it's why it's been relatively hard to move him; the acquiring team can't be certain what player they are getting.

It's why a lot of us define Flames becoming a top contender as being able to shift Backlund (and Frolik by extension) to the 3rd line.
