[Signing] Flames sign RW Michael Frolik to 5 year deal ($4.3 mil aav)

[Jacks]

July 1 deals always make me nervous, hopefully the dollars are reasonable.

[Reaper]

We got our Czech player for the second line, guys!

[HarryH93]

I hope it's for a reasonable price. I trust Treliving

Apparently, Emma Stone is today's .gif of choice to express how I feel towards the Flames acquisitions/trades.

[Swayze11]

Really like him but please don't overpay. Scared to see numbers.

[sharkov]

Hopefully not too long. We could be in cap hell

27 year old RW, I like it.

x Treliving = 5 years, 4.68M?

With a signing like this - everyone remember the Hudler deal. I think this has that sort of potential.

This is crazy! It's amazing to get what you want as a fan!

[Jayems]

What's the book on Frolik? What do we know about his game/style? Haven't followed his career at all.

the reports were that he was going to get at least $5 million per

####. Not liking this

Very similar to Hudler deal prior to joining Calgary.

Sign him when hes 27-28, RW was putting up about .55 PPG. Czech player

[Bingo]

another big possession player added to the fold.

Will be interesting to see how Hamilton and Frolik change those numbers. They certainly have some support in Backlund, Brodie and Giordano.

[StrykerSteve]

Where are you seeing that it's a long term deal?

[MrMastodonFarm]

Thought he was older, 27 is good for long term. Impressed. He should be on a line with Ferland, the MF'ers.

That could be a real nice signing! I'm a happy, happy Flames fan this week!

[dissentowner]

Love this signing, this was the only guy I was hoping we would go after. Always thought Frolik was an underrated guy who still has more to show. Excellent!

[btimbit]

Love it, bu hope his means we get rid of some of the deadweight on this team. Especially since it's likely to be an overpayment

[united]

Also worth noting that Frolik, like Hudler, is comfortable playing both wing positions. Gives some flexibility. I believe he played right most of last year, but prefers left if he had to choose.

[Samiz]

I think Frolik is very comparable to Hudler when we signed him a few years ago. I really like the signing. If it is at a high price, I think that he'll prove that it is worth it (like Hudler did)
