Frolik bashes habs management

[Metallo]

He spent too much time frolicking and was not focused on hockey.

Frolik to habs brass:

If Frolik was so good why was he not signed by anyone in the NHL and playing. Yea managements fault he is past his prime.

Having said that. Even if McDavid was here with this managment, for just one year, McDavid would be saying the exact same thing as Frolik.

This pretty much sums up Frolik and Habs management...

While he could have played a few more games, Frolik clearly should hace realized his depth role and should hace given the team a reason to play him. Perry was on waivers at the start and played his way into the lineup. Frolik wasnt that noticeable in his games. Also if he was unhappy then he could have either got his agent to try and ship him elsewhere or leave.

The reality is there wasnt a demand for him around the league and in his few chances he didnt do much to show he had anything in the tank to stay in the league this season.

He sucked & couldn't skate. Montreal was right to not play him. Plus, he knew he was going to the taxi squad. He was lucky to get a contract at all. Guy got $750k to practice.

The fact he got a contract and could be in the NHL during a pandemic year is a pretty sweet spot Id say too.

 

[FissionFire]

This reminds me of of another washed up player blaming someone else for “ending their career”

Paging Mike Commodore

We don't really know that, maybe he was promised a spot on starting roster. Maybe he was told he was part of the top 12..or they saw him as a viable piece on 3rd line.

I'm not so convinced Bergevin explained he would be on the outside and need to really prove himself, basically earning himself a slightly better deal than a tryout contract.

I can understand he is upset being casted away from the get go, but, his game was also crap.

When you sign for near league minimum in the dying days of the offseason then you should know you are a spare part. Maybe Bergevin did promise something but it's doubtful or Frolik wouldn't say they never gave me a chance he'd say they promised me this and never gave it to me.

The Bergevin maybe promised him something is a weak argument and comes across as just trying to put some blame on Bergevin because he sucks and therefore has to be at least partially at fault. There's enough real things we can crap on Bergevin over that we don't need to resort to made up situations that maybe happened but have no evidence for.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Forgot about him already. He knew where he was going last season when habs started the season with Perry at 13th forward and Frolik as 14th.

That's because we've seen dozens of over the hill, bargain bin reclamation projects come and go over the years. It's just too many to count. Do other GMs do this too?

Interesting article on TVAsport

«Le CH a carrément mis fin à ma carrière dans la LNH» - TVA Sports

frolik says habs basically ended his nhl career.

Habs are not in business to help x player get his 1000th nhl game. He wasn't that good after all. When Perry was signed, Frolik was done here, sadly. It happens and I think Frolik would have been a terrible bad player for us. Perry did the job.

 

[Catanddogguitarrr]

Sounds like sour grapes. Frolik was done when Habs got him

A player who is done should stay quiet. He make noise when he should be silent.
Who is complaining? A washed up bad player, even in Laval?

It's not weak, it's a possible reality. I don't blame Bergey on anything here, just saying, you don't know a lot of what you're speculating.
"He would have said he promised"..maybe..maybe not, arguing linguistic here. Who knows, a pro athlete poorly communicating his thoughts wouldn't be a new thing.

My point was simply, we don't know what was said during negotiations. Understandable he's upset with how he was handled here, but also can't blame management seeing how he was done.

 

[Wats]

I am not a fan of this management, but Frolik looked cooked. He was a liability in Laval too in the games I saw.

 

[CDN24]

Habs didn't end his career- Corey Perry did. When he signed he knew he was taxi squad bound, any chance he had of playing his way into a regular spot were taken by Perry who did sign after Frolik and quickly moved ahead of him and a lot of others on depth chart.

That said kudos to Frolik for not bitching about his role during the season and becoming a distraction

 

[knuck]

750K would buy me my dream house and help me live worry free for the rest of my life (while still working, of course). All he had to do to earn this money was to stay in shape and be ready to play.

f*** him

[HabsRenegade]

This face just screams "I don't want to make any trouble". Doesn't it?

 

[1909]

Frolik should thank the Habs to have given him 750,000 K to not play.

 

[Natey]

I don't disagree with most in this thread but I also wouldn't put it past Bergevin to promise him a bunch of shit either.

Bergevin is the worst.

 

[calder candidate]

He wasn’t a NHL caliber player not sure why he mad at the habs or why it is coming out now I would say that it is a none story… But again we have trouble attracting player, and even if you can’t please everyone why are there so many player leaving bitter or not in good term, it isn’t a good look.

 

[HabsAddict]

Froooo. who?

His almost worthless ass got $750K so a thank you would be in line. But hey...his mirror says otherwise....
