[No Fun Shogun]

Please be a small cap hit, please be a small cap hit....

 

[SLarmer28*]

And what a big body of work that was.

You clearly have no grasp of how contract negotiations go.

You don't have a clue about contract negotiations since Michael Frolik was not eligible for arbitration.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

With Frolik gone anything in the 2-3 million range can be fit pretty easily.

Also,


Mark Lazerus ‏@MarkLazerus 1m
His agent said yesterday they're trying to work out a two-year deal. RT @ski0331USMC: @MarkLazerus any word on Kruger?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Just announce it already

Same with the qualifying offer list

I know I said I was done, but that contract he signed did buy up arbitration years, which in turn ups the cost.

Like Disgruntled, I'm done. Completely ridiculous.

The guy who outright dismisses bodies of work with previous teams accuses someone else of not having a clue about contract negotiations.

The Chicago Blackhawks overpaid Michael Frolik. The Chicago Blackhawks traded Michael Frolik. The Chicago Blackhawks corrected a contractual error.

Regardless of the contract, this season him and Kruger were PK specialists. 2 mil for a 4th liner is crazy, but I wouldn't be surprised if Frolik produced a little more now that he isn't buried on the 4th line in Chicago.

Leddy: "The organization is first class both on and off the ice, and I am honored to be a member of the Chicago Blackhawks."

 

[ColdSteel2]

Should not be more than 2.1M.

 

[Hawkaholic]

I'll say 1.8

Should have sulked like Stalberg when he didn't get his way

Micahel Frolik played a third of a season with the Chicago Blackhawks. His contract should have been based consummensurate with his role and production with the Chicago Blackhawks as a third line right winger not with the Florida Panthers as a top 6 forward.

Players finishing their third NHL season don't negotiate contracts based on 28 regular-season games with a new team.

Neither do GMs. Neither do player agents. Neither does anyone in the real world.

That only happens in SLarmer28 fantasy land.

Viktor Stalberg believes he is a top 6 forward in the NHL. If the San Jose Sharks trading TJ Galiardi to the Calgary Flames is an omen, Viktor can now join his brother with that organization.

Upsetting because I actually liked Stalberg this year up until the playoffs.

Too bad it doesn't work like that, otherwise Chicago could trade for a star player on an expiring contract, stick them on the 4th line, and use that to justify offering them a 4 year, 3M contract.

I can't believe you're still going on.

 

[ColdSteel2]

I'll say 1.8

I think that is what he should get too, gives us options in UFA.

 

[Sir Psycho T]

I love this board.

Click on a link about Leddy signing a deal, sees 2 pages of discussion about Micheal Frolik.

AWESOME!

Glad Leddy is back, would have liked longer, if he really pans out in 2 years he could get 4+ million a year.

You're making assumptions that fit your iron clad bias.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Let's not forget Frolik also had a decent series against Vancouver that year in the playoffs. He just never lived up to it.

 

[chicagoskycam]

Leddy is getting at least 2, probably 2.5.

Stick to the topic at hand, Michael Frolik, who was never a NHL All-Star. The Chicago Blackhawks payed for potential and lost.

I'd love to hear your rational for Dustin Byfuglien's contract since he never scored 20 goals in a NHL season yet received a 3 year, $9 million contract when the salary cap was $56.7 million for the 2008-09 NHL Season.
