Michael Frolik has had an interesting tenure with the Flames.
Perhaps Brad Treliving’s best July 1 signing, when Frolik was brought into the fold during the 2015 offseason, it made a lot of sense: he was one of the top right wingers on the market, and his great underlying numbers had him pegged as a perfect fit for playing alongside Mikael Backlund, who up until that point had been playing with the Lance Boumas and David Joneses of the hockey world.
Furthermore, he was brought onto a team just starting to get its upswing in order, and one that had plenty of room to give him a well-earned five-year, $4.
