The interesting thing with Frolik is that he could garner a decent return at the deadline (barring injury or really poor play). I would think a bubble team like Vancouver or Montreal could use his presence in their middle six.
Frolik for Dale Weise (50% retained = 1.175 hit, expiring) and a 4th
Obviously it's primarily for the 3.2M in cap space, but Weise would be a decent press box guy that can slot into the bottom 6 as needed. Montreal gets a significant upgrade with the potential of recovering a 4th or better at the deadline.
A similar 6/7 defender would probably be better, but I don't see any expirings that fit the bill.
