Also, Frolik and Eaves have the exact same $3M salary this year, so it would cost ANA nothing (in real dollars). So it's an idea that makes a lot of sense for them as well.

They are getting a middle 6 player, and we are getting an LTIR, so they would have to add. Is a 3rd enough?

I would expect Anaheims perspective is that they are offering to take a contact to provide cap relief. Essentially they are offering a commodity that is in higher demand and that they should be recieving a draft pick for their offering.

Now they could get creative snd hold Frolik and trade him at the deadline to get a pick or picks. But I suspect right now they would expect to get a player and a pick if they provide another team with cap relief.

I am not remotely convinced of this. For years, Anaheim’s success was on the backs of their top three forwards—Getzlaf, Perry, and Kessler—who were good enough to run over everyone else in the League on a regular basis. Perry is gone, and Kessler is broken. Getzlaf is 34, and last year he looked—for the first time in his entire NHL career—like a mortal hockey player. He is approaching a point in his career when he can no longer dominate and take games over on his own. The Ducks currently do not have a player who can replace what Getzlaf brought, and it will take at least a few years to draft and develop another top-line centre.

Yes, they will continue to ride Gibson like they did last year, but look at that roster—it is a far cry from even average, and is not the sort of player group that requires tweaking or supplement. The Ducks are at the starting line of their rebuild. It will take a few years before they are even again in the conversation for the playoffs. Because Getzlaf was once THAT good, and without him in top form the Ducks are THAT bad.
