This year they brought in Frolik.
Frolik ppg last year .51 Granlund (21 yr old rookie) .375 .... over an 82 game season that comes to 11 pts..

I understand what you're saying, but bringing in Raymond and seto weren't the "wrong" moves. This created healthy competition that makes players better. Plus the youth eventually won.
Also, injuries happen. The best teams in the league have lots of depth and options. This is what Calgary has been building.
And last point here, Frolik does much, much more than Granlund does right now. With the puck and away from the puck. This doesn't mean that Granlund won't get there someday or get a chance this season though. Depth is a good thing to have.
