Does anyone know who Frolik's centers have been when he was all three teams (panthers, hawks & jets)? I dont recall him playing top 6 role...
- joescullz

Whanna say Boland for Hawks. Jets has been fluid. I think he spent time with Olli Jokinen when he centered the second, but I think this year it sS mainly Little. All in all not the best centers in the world.

By "Blues" I assume you mean the Leafs? If not, I'm confused.

Yeah, sorry Leafs. Strickland is a Blues guy.

Crap! I was buying into the $2M retention on Oshie suggestion.

Ryan Wilson ‏@GunnerStaal 2h2 hours ago

Last 8 years Frolik's most common C's were

Weiss 1825:24
Scheifele 907:47
Little 749:21
Bolland 353:40
- YouMeAndDupuis9

None of them are that great... Kinda all Sutter or below quality point wise the years Frolik was with them.

Ok, I'm more on board with him now.

- errey12

Why?? Oshie has a pretty favorable contract.

I like Frolik - would be a good fit style and money wise (hopefully)...Parenteau is OK...smart hockey player (can be good with talented linemates) but doesn't have very good speed.

Richards...at almost any price...is too much money for not enough return.

Kessel...would be nice to have a goal scorer...but again...the money he gets paid...too much form my liking.

IF they're retaining 2 mil I don't think you have to worry much. There will be 15 other teams with better packages lining up

Doesn't matter if Kessel won't waive beyond the 8 teams on his NTC list.

So can the Pens put a player on waivers for buy out tomorrow at noon or is today the last day? Not sure how that works. They wouldn't clear until noon July 1st if placed on waivers tomorrow

Michael Frolik has Montreal atop his list for UFA destinations, according to @renlavoietva.


zzzzzzzzz Why Frolik, WHY?

I agree. Just a lame attempt at humor on my part.

It does if at least the other 7 teams come to the table. I think most were out of it because they couldn't fit that cap hit. 6 mil more manageable

It was a joke by me... Guy before said 2 mil retained by Blues for Kessel... We assumed he meant Toronto, but I went ahead and decided he meant Oshie :D

I'd much rather sign Frolik for $5m/yr than trade for Kessel.
- jfkst1

I think they should try to get a player in the style of each. One pure goal scorer and one good 2 way player. But in both cases, I like the players and their fit here, but I think they should look for cheaper options.

Two reasons I wouldn't like that:
1. It would take away Frolik.
2. It would make Sharp more likely.

So I hear Frolik and Semin? Lets get back on bringing some Semin all over Pittsburgh

Yeah, I should message board less at work.....maybe next week.

The Penguins are probably the best option team on his list.

Little has 343 (146 goals) points in 556 nhl games
Sutter has 185 (98 goals) in 495

I got in trouble last week for messing around on Hockey's Cap at work. I'm addicted.

I was on the seasons he played with them, not the overall body of work... was click glancing year to year.

If the Habs sign him, I throw a 5.4M offer sheet at Galchenyuk. They are pretty tight against the cap

Would be a gutsy move, but I like it. Would definitely mean you were off their Christmas card list though.

I think the Habs don't do anything until they lock him up. They don't have much cap room as is, and he is going to get a decent contact.

No way Lemieux allows us to do this to his buddy Bergevin.

1. It would take away Frolik.
2. It would make Sharp more likely.

Something tells me we're signing Justin Williams or Joel Ward to a 3 year/9 mil deal.
