Frolik may have same value and Brodie certainly has retained value regardless of Valamaki’s injury...but Brodie may still be on the block if they need an asset to trade to help up front now.

If any of those guys are sulking that is an utter lack of professionalism. The business of hockey will always include names being bandied about and it’s not about not wanting guys per se but wanting different attributes that come at a cost.
Pros would understand that the only thing they control is their performance and that being in the NHL is something special not to be taken for granted.
Deal with what you have and just improve and help the team win.
