He’s not wrong. Frolik is clearly better than Neal right now. Why is he getting less minutes?

Nobody knows why Frolik is getting fewer minutes than Neal, but either way, it's smelly that Walsh is publicly commenting on the situation. Doesn't rub me the right way.

It's pretty obvious Frolik gave the okay to Walsh after this second tweet. I expect him to be moved now.

Frolik must want to be traded.

He’s played pretty damn well...could be a chip in a a package deal to improve the roster.

The one UFA the BT has signed that has actually had a positive impact and now he's unhappy about playing time.

Seems like Brad just needs to take July 1st off from now on.

Yeah. Fro wants to go. Inevitable I suppose. 10 team no-trade list right? Wonder if Detroit is on there.

Frolik, a 1st, a conditional 2nd, and a defenseman prospect for Mark Stone? The 2nd conditional upon Stone being re-signed

Crap, I really like Frolik and think he’s a valuable player but he has to go now before this turns into Corrination street and starts to be a distraction to the other players. Flames have two urgent issues to address already, don’t need a manufactured third one.

Which would mean the Flames need to sign Tkachuk, Bennett, Stone, Rittich, and another goalie. Don't think we could afford Stone other than a rental.

Sucks to see the 2nd tweet. I thought the 1st was just the agent, but now another and the commentary that this likely was all approved by Frolik is disappointing.
Doesn't reflect well on Frolik.

Never thought I would agree with Alan Walsh but the easiest solution is to just play Frolik more because he is out performing guys who are getting gifted more ice time.

He is a good player.

Frolik, Mangipane, Smith and a 1st for Howard, Kronwall. If there was a way to do all your shopping at one stop I'd try for Howard, Nyquist and Kronwall. Thats a 3 position forward, a rock 3rd pairing LHD and something better than what we have in net.

Well if Frolik is out in that deal, that's an additional $4.3 in cap space added. Smith being gone adds another $4.25 in cap space. Dealing Mike Stone would free up another $3.5.

I think it could be worked.

If there a chance to have Stone long term, I’d move Bennett as part of that package or trade him separately.

I think Stone is going to be Ottawas next captain. The guy is holding on ice players only meetings to keep them into this. They're gonna pay him, and he's going to be their guy.

Also, getting Mark means the Flames will have to dump Michael which the brothers will probably not like.

I suspect the first was in consultation with Frolik, but do this one he'd have had to be on the phone with Frolik asap after the game, no?
