Playing for the Canadiens would be on top of Michael Frolik list, I've learned. He aways loved MTL and spends his summers training here.

Gotta love how FAs want to sign here now. Such a nice change

[hersky77]

he is exactly what we need. A guy who can put up 45-50 points playing second line minutes.

While playing pp2 and pk1

And it keeps weise and devo out of the top six.

 

[mtlhockeyfan]

I think he would be a very good addition. Maybe 4 million per for 2 years?

 

[groovejuice]

Personally, I'd like Frolik. No assets required. Depending on term, I'd guess $4.5 to $5M.

 

[Jaynki]

I hope that if he really wants to play here he would get a certain discount.

His contract numbers could be the difference between a very solid addition versus an overpaid middle six forward

 

[Hope Of Glory]

He would be a great addition. It's nice to see that some guys want to play here.

Hahahaha let's prepare to be disappointed once again.

Good age, 27, so entering his prime, 6'2" 192 lbs, big RW. Wonder since Plekanec is a fellow countryman, if Chucky does not end up at center, have Chucky-Pleks-Frolik?

But that's only because we are consistently into the playoffs... 2012 proved to be a surgical tanking year.

 

[SnapVirus]

Isnt he from Plekanec's hometown? Maybe they know each other.

 

[kingdok]

He's the UFA I want this year. A youngish top 6 who can play in all situations. Nothing too flashy so he wouldn't commend a big salary, but I guess you never know with UFAs.

I think he would be a very good addition. Maybe 4 million per for 2 years?

He's going to sign for 5-6 years.

 

[Coldplay]

****ing do it. Would be a great add. Bonafide Top-9 player who can play in the Top 6. Young enough that we can afford to give him some term.

 

[Lebowski]

I really like Frolik's game, but it all depends on the kind of AAV he's looking for. My gut tells me a weak FA crop is going to drive the market up for even middle 6 kind of guys such as Frolik. If we can get him under 4M for 3-4 years, I'm all for it, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone went crazy and offered over 5M for him.

Yes he is. Both from Kladno.

Sekac was from Plekanec's hometown as well. Didn't stop them to hate eachother.

They hated each other??

 

[Richiebottles]

I would love it. Depending on the cap.

Buyer beware but MB rarely gives out massive contracts.

 

[S Bah]

Nice the Habs made room for him first.

 

[Richiebottles]

They hated each other??

The media pushed that narrative

 

[Jaynki]

Source ? Or this is an excuse to make you digest the trade?

Sekac is a marginal player, just accept it

As for Frolik, it all depends on terms and salaries but he could be a big addition if he is signed at around 4M

Don't get your hopes up just because of this tweet...He might be interested, doesn't mean Habs are

 

[WeThreeKings]

They better be. He makes the most logical sense..
Which is why we end up with Beleskey..

 

[Mrb1p]

You guys are bat**** crazy. Stop going for the overpaid UFA. This guy will want north of 5. North of 4 is too much for him. It's the exact reason why were not winning anything.

LA, Boston, Chicago and all the cup winning teams have no addition like that. Just don't do it.
