A good theory...as you noted he would have been better off building his numbers/stats but now has this shadow over him...actually a good scenario for the Flames...he has to work his butt off the make his numbers better, which will give the Flames more trade opportunities next month. Send him to Jersey!!

That's fine, I choose Rittich and made him the ram choice. I am a little sick right now, must be the cough medicine.

Crazy for me to wrap my head around it, but this team hasn't done this well since 89 and you would want out of it??? It's business to these guys so maybe, but dang if your expecting more ice time and such your only going to go onto a lower end team. Crazy

Does the agent really think his tweets are going to shed a new light on the subject that Peters hasn't analyzed and all of a sudden Frolick is getting 18 minutes a night? Really the only thing I can think of is he wants out but doesn't want to ask for a trade, so he asked his agent to see what he could do.

I don't agree with Froliks agent running his mouth, but I do think Frolik gets the short end of the stick and I am not sure why. If you look at the last 4 games Neal/Frolik/Bennett
Neal Average time on Ice 14:23 1 goal and -2
Frolik 12:49 2 goals 2 assists +5
Sam Bennett 12:55 2 assists and 0(even) (Sam had 1 game against Detroit that only had 10:52 of ice time all his other games were 13-13:51, so the one bad performance lowered his average.)
I only used the last 4 games as Frolik was a healthy scratch 5 games ago.
It honestly seems like Neal turns the puck over 85% of the time. Its like he has lost all of his stick handling ability, if he has to pick the puck up off the boards in the defensive zone it is guaranteed a turn over if there is even a little pressure.
If ice time is to be earned not given, it seems like something is out of sorts.

Maybe we could get a Delia for Frolik trade going, kill two birds with one stone? Frolik would be right at home with his old team, and Flames would have what looks to be a heck of an upcoming goalie....hope he is playing tonight so I can have another look. But don't want him to be too good...

Hey, let's throw Neal in as well...too bad really...I keep expecting him to breakout and yet he seems to make a point of underwhelming...

The only reason I didn't was he plays center so not really a true comparison to a winger.
but 13.45 1 assist -1

That Delia kid looks pretty good, no? We should get him. For Ryan maybe. Or Neal....

It did. Sometimes you have to be good to be lucky though. If Neal had done that, no way in hell it goes in....

It is like riding a unicycle, it can be rewarding but you rather nobody knew about it. Unfortunately everyone in our pool can see my picks.

Hawks have a lot of jump tonight, look good. Delia made a great save on Monahan there, was a good strong pp for Flames.
