Bad news

 

[Aavco Cup]

Very strange. Can't sign an extension until Jan 1.

 

[gbill2004*]

Not good. Was hoping for something longer term. I believe he's a UFA after this one year deal.

 

[SensibleGuy]

well that's pretty un-satisfying. This off season sucks.

 

[Aavco Cup]

Is he now potential trade deadline material?

Maybe it's all part of the "soft tank" plan.

 

[King Woodballs]

Interesting to say the least.

 

[Jet]

This is really bad news.

I am really starting to sour on Cheveldayoff now.

 

[seasontixholder*]

I hate to be negative nilly but players don't want to play here. Frolik knows it and probably thought he could get $4 million.

#whatdidchevydotoday

I understand it's a business and the bottom line is to make money but it's sure looking like True North is only in it to make make and nothing else.

 

[RaakaArska]

Only 1 year? That is just awful

 

[pegjets]

Looks like he won't be a jet next season, one way or the other

 

[Mathmew Purrrr Oh]

bah!

 

[surixon]

Welli don't understand this at all. This off season is quickly turning into a bust for me. We get a nice lame duck season from Frolik here.

Yeah, that's true. That's why all of our core players signed long term deals here.

Yup, definitely did not want to be here.

I think the Jets were being cheap ***** and Frolik said **** it, I'll give you your dollars but I will turn ufa.

Now aren't you glad we spent that money on Thorburn? I would have easily gave him Thors extra 1.2 on a long term deal.

Sad, sad day for Jets fans. Chevy is really starting to show incompetence.

 

[Stej]

Ouch.

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Don't understand this one at all.

 

[RaakaArska]

I hope he gets traded before the season starts or at latest trade deadline. Don't get me wrong I love Frolik, but it seems he's going to walk after this season anyway.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Ugh. Not happy with term. Looks like he'll be on the way out at trade deadline.

He will get $4M, perhaps $5M if he gets to UFA. He won't get any cheaper next year.

I wonder what purpose Chevy is saving internal cap space for? Trade(s)?

Or Walsh was being outrageous in his demands and refused to lower them and instead of signing another Pavelic contract the Jets elected to go one year and deal him. It could go either way here.

 

[buggs]

Groan. Seriously?

This is concerning from the speculative point that it seems Chevy doesn't want to pay guys what's happening around the league. I didn't want to overpay Frolik either, but I knew he'd be getting money in the range of our first line guys, if not more, simply because the cap has gone up, so too have the comparables. If that meant he's making more than guys like Enstrom or Little, well, that's just a reflection of when the deals were made and what the cap was at the time. Ouch.

Wanna bet not one of the Atlanta Thrasher core players that signed long term would be making the money they are here anywhere else?

Just cause they signed here doesn't mean they want to play here. Why do people go work in remote areas? $$$

 

[PhilJets]

Don't worry, Chevy will flip him for 1 first in the trade deadline. The team hoping toget in the playoff, will not make it. Then , they win the lottery.

so it works out for the best

McDavid >>> Frolik

 

[SensibleGuy]

I'll tell ya...I really don't have any positive feelings about the upcoming season at all. I can see a whole litany of **** storms on the horizon...

 

[Romang67]

Dammit, then what's the point of having .900elec stick around!?

I'm disappointed in this.
