now that Semin got bought out i think i'd rather sign him for cheap rather than pay big for Frolik, Semin could probably be locked up for 2-3M.
I'd imagine other teams may think the same way. Semin was pretty bad. But let's not forget the Canes were just as bad. I'd imagine a player like Semin doesn't enjoy playing, even slightly, for a team that doesn't win.
Perhaps not, but he has shown in the past that he's not always the kind of player willing to make the all-out effort to help ensure that his team does win.
Not a guy I would be dying to go to war with.
This team desperately needs another 20 goal scorer in the top 6, let alone a 30 goal scorer.
Then Frolik is not the anwser. No way would I pay more then 4.5 for him. Mtl can and need to do much better then Frolik. This team should be looking at top talent. Eberle, Yakupov, Sharp, Kessel, Staal, Skinner, Oshie, Duclair.
One of those guys just doesn't belong on that list!
Half-assing from Semin >>>>>>> 100% effort from Brian Flynn or Christian Thomas.
I'd say 2 to maybe even 3 don't even belong on that list .
Let's sign BIG Eric Staal who's still young at 30. Offer could look like Gallagher + Tinordi + Mc Carron + 2nd pick 2016.
We don't need band aid solutions with another 3rd or 4th line player so we need to act now and fast before we lose to another team with a higher bid which will likely happen.
I think we should add Galchenyuk and a first
McGuire thinks no way Frolik signs for under $5 million per year.

Sure, if it's a list of guys the Habs should be interested in, there are a few names that may not belong on the list, for age, contract, or acquisition cost reasons. But Duclair in particular stands out, since every other guy is either a proven NHL point producer or a high first round pick, or both. Every other guy on the list is top flight talent that would help us today.
Frolik getting 5M$ is just gross.

He's a very reliable, hard working player with better than average offense and excellent defensive play. He'd immediately slot in as 2nd line RW, but can also play the other side. He's 27 and may take a marginal discount to play in Montreal.
That's my justification. What exactly is yours?
That the amount of money we would have to pay to secure a UFA Michael Frolik is not commensurate with the output he will provide our team on the ice.
Do you think having Michael Frolik as our 2RW would have helped us take out Tampa? He's a nice player but does he really put our team that much closer to the ECF?
