Rumor: Michael Frolik has Habs listed as top destination

[JoelWarlord]

Don't really like Frolik at 5M, especially when in essence you need to add the 1.6 from Parenteau's buyout.

 

[Pr3Va1L]

I don't want Semin's contract. He's still ultra talented, but I don't want that contract. I'd inquire about him if Carolina retained a substantial amount.

He was bought out today, so he's a UFA by tommorrow.

 

[Ghetto Sangria]

McGuire doesn't see Frolik getting less that 5 million per year. Is it worth it to sign Frolik to that amount?

No way is he worth 5 mil. 4-4.5 max at a long-term contract

 

[Hackett]

McGuire doesn't see Frolik getting less that 5 million per year. Is it worth it to sign Frolik to that amount?

Yeah, I think the largest bids will be in that neighborhood.

Like I said before, the habs should not be competing with other teams for frolik's services through dollars and cents.


You come up with a number that the habs can manage, and test frolik's willingness to play for the habs. If it doesn't work, then so be it. Frolik is not worth getting into a bidding war over.

Not by a longshot.

 

[hotcarle]

17m/4yrs 4.25aav sounds good.

 

[sampollock]

Just not sure of this guy

 

[Fazkovsky]

I have a feeling he will end up a hab. He is czech, he is a RW and a lot more other reasons.

Problem is he isn't that 30-50 goals scorer we are looking for.

 

[wedge]

I'd like him but even at 4 it's pushing it...
We've already spent too much money for 3rd liners in PAP and Briere in the past. I think the best would give more money to a real 1st liner.Wait for the perfect opportunity. Some guys have been traded lately that are exactly what we're looking for (Saad, for example).

I don'T want us to overpay for a UFA and strangle ourselves with the salary cap

Looking at what some very avg. player received in the past that fact that he was making 3.3M$ in is last contract and with the cap at 71M$ a avg. player should make ±3.5M$ so I doubt he sign for under 3.5M$ it is definately closer to 5M$ thn 2.7M$.

 

[Power Man]

Ah the good old "I would love to play for the Habs" bs

Do not want this guy

A Mathieu Carle fan. I've seen it all.

Dude...

Last year, one (ONE) guy scored 50 goals. And only 15 scored 30 goals or more. Only 11 scoring more than 31.

This is a low scoring era.

 

[Account Terminated]

Just not sure of this guy

What's not to be sure of. He played a solid defensive role in Chicago, winning a Cup there and then he went to Winnipeg, where he tapped into his offensive side and played on the top line with Ladd and Little.

Give me a player like that any day. I'd go $4.5 million max and stick him with Plekanec.

at that heavy price tag I wouldve rather gotten vrbata last year

 

[19VJ17]

Dude, you're not making any sense here. You are arguing from a position where Frolik would be worse than Ghetto or a rookie but get time over them. He wouldn't.
You seem to think Frolik=PAP=Briere. You are 100% wrong about this.
Would you have a problem with Gallagher playing over Ghetto?? Of course not.
It's the same for Frolik. He's a good player to have, playing him on the PP wouldn't be a problem whatsoever.

And if we're just talking on the PP, it probably wouldn't matter who plays anyways. Unless Therrien changes our strategies there, we won't be scoring much.

Sorry Dude but you don't make much sense for wanting a depth forward for 5 mil.
I would rather throw the dice on young forwards we have in our system.
You think by adding a secondary scoring winger and it will help the habs to score like 20-30 more goals.
That type of thinking is like trading for Cam Talbot and thinking your going to lead the league in goals against.
One average player is not going to change much. So I would rather save the money and hope a big time play maker comes available....or hope one of our young guns can do it for 4mil less.
It is time to see if MB is building through the draft....by playing the young guns

Playing young guns is fine, but not peashooters. Every peashooter must prove he has turned into a gun before he gets guaranteed top 6 time.

Eh, it's not that bad of a price to pay. Obviously Vrbata would have been a nice fix on the top line, but he wisely chose Vancouver where he'd play with the Sedins.

No, it may well help the Habs be a little harder to play against though.

Frolik does a lot of the little things right. He has had 4 40+ point seasons in his career. He is just turning 28 years old in February so a deal with term wouldn't likely be a big issue.

And as long as the NHL cap goes up 2-3 million next year, along with Gilbert/Prust coming off of the books they should be fine cap wise with Frolik.

 

[NobleSix]

This team desperately needs another 20 goal scorer in the top 6, let alone a 30 goal scorer.

 

[Draft]

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a five or six year deal. He's only 27.
