Frolik Would Be A Perfect Fit

There is no question that Edmonton Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish had a lot on his plate heading into the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft. While much of the focus was being placed on who would still be available for the Oilers to select with the seventh overall pick, be it Sean Monahan, Valeri Nichushkin or Darnell Nurse, the rookie GM also had his hands in a couple of things leading up and including draft day.

MacTavish played it safe and smart at the NHL Entry Draft

When Craig MacTavish took over as general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, he promised fans he would make the necessary "bold moves" to improve the hockey club. In the minds of many, those moves needed to start happening at the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Unfortunately for them, the fireworks they were hoping to see never materialized and not a single "bold move" took place.

Frolik would be a nice addition to the Oilers top nine

Michael Frolik has always intrigued me as a player. Ever since being drafted tenth overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Florida Panthers, the talented Czech has always been a player I have kept my eye on. After putting up back-to-back twenty-one goal campaigns in his rookie and sophomore seasons, it looked as though he was well on his way to becoming a legitimate top six NHL forward.
