I think you take things one game at a time. If the Flames play like crap next game and all the bubble guys don’t play well, there’s really not much to worry about.

From an asset and cap management perspective, I think if Frolik can rebuild any value, you try and move him. What he brings can be replaced by Rieder who is significantly cheaper.

The other players I think you consider moving are Janko and Czarnik. Janko is looking less and less likely to be a top 6 centre and as a bottom 6, he just doesn’t have enough jam. Czarnik is a UFA and his game is too similar to Mangiapane, Dube and Phillips, all of whom have higher upside.

Rinaldo bringns something this team is missing, a physical presence and forecheck. I really want to see him in the lineup every game and I want to see him on an energy / momentum line with Bennett.
