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.

Penalty Kill

All successful NHL penalty killing units have the following elements in place:

1. Committed forwards who are active on the kill and willing to block shots
2. Quality faceoff men
3. A goaltender capable of making "the big save" when shorthanded
