maynezy Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie 1m1 minute ago CGY on verge of getting Michael Frolik signed on a long term deal. Frolik on verge of long term deal with Flames.. I like this move as well. Hopefully somewhere around 4Million. He's a quick skilled player and will fit right in flawlessly. BEAUTY!!

Frolik would be a great addition. Saw alot of him and he is a good signing, for the right price of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Really dislike the Ramo deal now that Neuvirth signed a 2 year contract for $3.25 million total. Neuvirth has terrible stats. I wouldn't have paid that much for him as a backup, and would never consider him for a 1b. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 IMHO Ramo >> neuvirth . Neuvirth had better numbers while playing most of his season in Buffalo, the worst defensive team in the league. We now have $8.3 mill locked up in goal and no number 1 goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robrob1974 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 If We use advanced stats, we were also one of the worst teams in that aspect. Maybe Ramos numbers improve if the team improves in being out of our own zone more often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Ramos numbers improve if the team improves in being out of our own zone more often. Ramo suffered more from bad coverage than Hiller did. Hiller let in bad goals at times, while Ramo tended to suffer from multiple shots after the first save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I am not talking advanced stats Neuvirth had .918 save % while playing on the worst team in the league. Ramo had a .912 save % playing on a playoff team. I would have no issues with signing Ramo if it was closer to $2mill, but $3.8 is an overpayment by quite a bit. At the end of the day it doesn't really affect Calgary's cap, but if is too much money for a backup/1b goalie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I guess worse case is, Hiller plays out the season in Stockton and the organization spends $4.5-mil on a farm team goalie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_People1 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 hmm... don't like Frolik personally. He did well in the Chicago playoffs and brings Cup experience which is good but after that, i felt he was given a good opportunity with the Jets to elevate his game to the next level and he didn't get the job done. He's barely a 40-point guy and now he makes more money than Hudler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 That is a lot of money and term for a 40 point guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Flames sign Frolik 5 yrs 4.3/mil per year Thanks for that. I like the term. The dollars is about what I expected him to go for. This is a great signing. He will flourish on this team. Think Backlund at center. Possession beast line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTech780 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Kind of feels like BT undid some of the good work he had done with the Hamilton trade and signing by overpaying for a backup goalie and a 3rd line winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 That is a lot of money and term for a 40 point guy. Yes, i think $3.5-mil-per should have been the max. Is there 50-point potential if he's given a top 6 role with the Flames? Yes, but that might be peak potential we're talking about. It's too much money.

DirtyDeeds Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Frolik likely fills our biggest need at RW. Good pickup and should fit top 6, 2nd line assuming we keep our Huds, Gadreau Money line intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flames-fan-911 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I wasn't sure about the Frolik signing but now that I think about it I'm warming to it. 6'1, 200 lbs...quick winger with a two-way game. Can kill penalties and score. Also plays a strong possession game. 27 years old so we have him for the prime of his career. Potential replacement for Hudler down the line? I feel like Treliving and co. are forward-thinking with this signing. I don't mind it.But mostly, when I see a guy like David Jones at $4m... this seems like a much better addition. We can afford this, especially with even more money opening up next year. We got better and gave nothing up. Not unreasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_People1 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 As of this moment, Michael Frolik is the highest paid forward on the Calgary Flames. Take a deep breathe, think, and tell me if that makes any freakin sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertaBoy12 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 The money that we paid for frolik is the going rate for 2nd line forwards, and to be honest if we didn't have Raymond, smid, engelland, Jones etc on the books we would still have lots of cap space. Also Ramos deal is only 1 year so who cares, it's not like he signed him for 5 years at 3.8 million per. As of this moment, Michael Frolik is the highest paid forward on the Calgary Flames. Take a deep breathe, think, and tell me if that makes any freakin sense. Makes sense to me he's going to look great on the second line. And once other contracts come off the books and other big names get their raises it won't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckening Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I'm elated that we signed Ramo. I don't really care about the dollars because its only a one year contract. The Frolik signing I'm a little more leery about. The panel on TSN were speaking high praise for Frolik saying he is very underrated as a player. Let's hope so.
