And Frolik signed his deal four years ago when the cap was 10 million $ lower. IMO that contract was bad from the start both in term and dollars.

If you're complaining about a guy like Frolik (who is still a really effective middle 6 player) you've taken yourself way off base. There are much bigger concerns for the Flames besides Frolik right now. He'll still get his 35-40 points when it's all said and done and fill a big role down the right side at both ends of the rink. Who cares if he's 0.5-.75M overpaid....he certainly isn't part of what's hurting the team and there are much more deserving players of being deleted ahead of him to clear cap space.
