Frolik makes this team better - and is one of the better options to move up the lineup should/when injuries occur. A Frolik trade at this point seems like far to much of a headache due to his salary and NTC. He is also not a player you should be giving up assets to move. Finding an alternative way to make the cap room work seems far more ideal at this point.

I agree with everything here. Problem is it seems like (from his agent) he isn't happy here. So if that's the case, maybe it's worth trading him to:
- remove a potential issue from the room
- give space to sign Tkachuk, Mangiapane, even other FA's?
- open up a spot to win at camp for the young guys
I think it's just prudence at this point to see if his return improves based on other teams surprise needs through camp.
