Hopefully Frolik being somewhat revitalized from the coaching change can entice somebody to trade for him. He's too expensive for his role here, and can maybe do better in a bigger role elsewhere.
Pretty much making him a rental, even though the Flames are hopefully going to be a playoff team. Normally a playoff team wouldn't trade away veteran depth like that, but as outlined in the OP, the Flames have a lot of forward depth on the roster, and also some prospects excelling in the AHL.
Of course there aren't many teams with the cap space to absorb that, so I don't see it happening.
