It's nice that everyone got together to say the right things about keeping the team intact but Frolik's days in Flames sweater would be over if anyone in the league had been interested.
I think it will be difficult for Frolik to win his spot back again this year, especially if Mangiapane starts to convert on some goals as well.
I'd be rolling:
Line 1
Tkachuk - Backlund - Mangiapane
Lucic - Ryan - Frolik
Bennett - Quine - Dube

Frolik was a tire fire for the first two games of the season, so there's a method to the madness in demoting him.
Will he rebound? He certainly has the career to suggest he will. But I agree he really shouldn't even be here.
