Besides Backlund, Frolik has been no slouch in his time here either and has been an overall dependable part of one of the leagues better two-way lines. I know he's on his way out, and there was that weird thing with his agent, but it's mostly due to incoming cap issues than his play. It was a weird season for him with some healthy scratches, but when he came back from those he was always involved positively. And his experience I'm sure went a long way in helping Tkachuk grow as a player.
I think we will be parting ways with him at the right time, but he's one of the few UFA deals in recent memory (not just for the Flames, but really overall) that actually worked out fairly for both sides.
