Not saying they didn't check with Frolik, but wouldn't GG have more say? He's coached him before, you think he'd have a good handle on things.

Either way, lots of smoke now. I'd be more surprised if it doesn't happen now.

Would want to see Tkachuk - Bennett - Jagr at some point with Versteeg or Janko trying LW on the Backlund - Frolik line.

Anyone know if the Flames plane in enroute to Europe? We need the CP aviation sleuth branch to get on it. Send agent asshandler to the airport bathrooms while we are at it.

I realize they are from the same country, but Frolik was 3 when Jagr won his first Stanley Cup. What info would Frolik have that hasn't been unearthed in Jagr's 27 years around the NHL?

Calgaryboy in Czech is starting to lose his mind over there.
Another dream come true for him if it happens.

...because they trust Frolik? They value his opinion?

Czech NHL hockey circle isn't very big, I'm sure they all know each other pretty well.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Ferland
Tkachuk - Backlund - Frolik
Versteeg - Bennett - Jagr
Stajan - Jankowski - Brouwer
Lazar, Hamilton

...but jeepers fellas, once we land Duchene - things are really going to be crowded...

I agree that if Jagr gets signed this will be the lineup on opening day.

Would like to see Tkachuk-Bennett-Jagr at some point though.

Maybe they want Hasek too and Frolik knows how to get him.

Will be watching this today closely, also in Czech media. Really pumped up. That would be really something for me. Greatest Czech hockey player of all times in a jersey of the club of my heart? It is a no brainer! Go Flames!

Frolik also played for Kladno, the team Jagr played for and now owns. Was there with him during the lockout.

If this happens, Versteeg will need to grow mutton chops to fit in with Bennett's beard and Jagr's mullett.

CF.com posted an article about Frolik today -- this is what he had to say about Jagr:

FROLIK: Things change a little bit as you get older, of course. I've met him a few times with the national team over the years. You can see, yeah, that he's a little different. In a good way. What he does off the ice and in preparation for games is really interesting. You see what still drives him to play and play well. It's pretty amazing.

It was fun to see what works for him. Definitely cool to be in the same room and play together on the national team.

I want to see Jagr and Johnny together on the powerplay.

Better yet would be 3-on-3 if Jagr can keep up - Smith to Johnny to Jagr and win.
