Yeah unfortunately he’s the odd man out when it comes to cap casualties. Hopefully we can get a decent return. I’m not expecting much though.

Detroit has lots of cap space? Bu bu but HF told me they had nothing

 

[Eye Test]

Meh

Was a really nice signing and middle 6 player for us. Good luck to him next year.

Hopefully can recoup a third or fourth and some scraps. He’ll get something, but I expect Bennett or dube can fill most of his production next year anyway, so meh.

Would be a good player for the Sabres or Oilers to pick up, although I can't see Calgary abd Edmonton making a deal

 

[Johnnybegood13]

Whoever gets him gets an outstanding person and teammate, guy can still play too.

 

[Qward]

Is he free?

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Dreger is a tool, he certainly wouldn't crack the top six in Montreal. As of right now Poehling and Byron could very well be on the 4th line to start the season.

 

[Langdon Alger]

He has a ten team no trade list. Not sure why he’d want to come to Ottawa.

Contract year and could play higher in the lineup?

The reason for Calgary moving him is cap space, not sure Edmonton would want to spend half their cap space on one forward when they need to sign 3 forwards a goalie and upgrade their D

I don't see any room for him on the Habs. Especially before July 1st when the Habs could be looking to sign a big name.

perfect 3rd liner who can easily play up

 

[Langdon Alger]

Depends on the price to get him I guess. I don’t see why Ottawa would give up anything of value for a guy who only has one year left on his contract.

I think Dreger listed those teams because they have cap space, not because he’s heard those teams have interest.

I will be in the minority, but Frolik is definitely going to be missed. On lots of nights he was our best defensive forward. Whoever gets him is going to love what he brings to the table. A 35-40 point middle 6 versatile winger (LW/RW) who plays an excellent 2-way game.

If he is gone I sure hope the Flames find someone that can do at least a little of what Frolik could do on the defensive side of things.

 

[CanadianHawks]

Love to have him back in Chi Town

 

[Pukboy5kroner]

I don't see a spot for him, but, depending on how free agency pans out, I wouldn't mind him playing in the Panthers middle six. Doubt he'd waive to come back though, as he was traded for the sake of making a shake up however many years ago (for Skille and an AHL goalie, although Baby Jagr was having a rough year).

I think Frolik asking for a trade out probably has something to do with it as well

I think the Hawks would definitely welcome him back in open arms.

 

[GeeoffBrown]

I believe Frolik asked for a trade. Frolik's agent was unhappy with his ice time and the fact he was a healthy scratch a couple times.

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

Could see Philly taking a run at him. He would slot nicely with Nolan Patrick on the third line, and with one year left on his contract he wouldnt block Frost/Ratcliffe/Farabee for an extended period of time.

The last thing they need is an overpaid depth player. Their forward group is as deep as any team's depth. If they are going to do anything significant it will be for a left D or to trade Drouin.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Would be very interested
