Zadina mentioned on Regners podcast that he knows Frk. May not be a bad idea to keep him around through the preseason at a minimum to help the guy acclimate to Detroit.
Congrats!!!The Frk saga continues! Take that haters!
I thought i read awhile back that Detroit was close to a deal with Mantha, They said it was a 2 year bridge deal worth slightly less then $4 million per. And that the deal was close and Larkin would receive a 5 year deal at a hometown discount as well. So maybe less then $5 million per or so.hmm interesting on the frk signing, especially with the thoughts on zadina making the roster this year to start. Just was looking at cap friendly, still shows larkin/mantha as RFA. When will we find out what they signed for/will be signing for?
Confused about the Frk signing. I just can't see where he fits into this organization moving forward.
will be interesting to see the numbers assuming we bring back larkin, mantha, and aa.I thought i read awhile back that Detroit was close to a deal with Mantha, They said it was a 2 year bridge deal worth slightly less then $4 million per.

Probably just an extra skater/depth guy, to be honest.
Maybe he wasn't qualified and that means he could be signed for less than his qualifying offer (probably less than 650K)?
I non jokingly kind of fear this too.I'm not a fan of Frk because I think he's going to kill someone eventually with his terrible one-timer accuracy. But other than that, welcome back!

Who was it a few years back who took one hard, Robidas?
Frk being re-signed doesn't mean he's going to make the final roster. He can still be cut/sent down.
Yeah I guess for a year that is his role. Maybe as a friend to Zadina like others have mentioned. I just thought guys like Witkowski and Turgeon had the role locked up.
Witkowski is a waste of space as a hockey player. Fun dude and all, but he brings nothing to the table.
I remember that one with Frk, but I was talking about one that happened 5ish+ years ago which ignited the whole "full cage" debate. Think it was Dallas and JerseyGirardi last year I think.
