In fairness to Frolov...
Yes, he does have an assist, but more to the point, I don't like the line he's on. It struck my eye weird during training camp when I saw him playing with Armstrong and Calder, and I'm still not sure it's going to work. I know Crawford is looking for scoring balance, but if I'm coaching that team I think I try Frolov with Handzus and Nagy.

I agree Rich. I think a line of Handzus, Nagy and Frolov has the same make-up that the Conroy, Demitra, Frolov line had two years back...Fro with a strong two-way center and another skilled winger.
ok...so who plays which wing? Who gets moved?
I couldn't agree more. Fro should be on the line with Handzus & Nagy, their playing styles are very complementary. O"Sully should be with Army & Calder. Look how Army help Frolov & Cammy develop last year, it would do wonders for O'Sully's growth as a player.
Ditto Dave.
Seeing Zeiler on a line with Nagy & Handzus made me want to puke.
Crawford needs to get his head out of his you know what, and put better line combinations out there, or else.
Anyone notice what a great passer Frolov is? What about this: Handzus, Nagy, Calder...and Army, Fro, OSullivan? This way Fro has someone on the line who can convert, while all 3 top lines have one blue collar guy. Just a thought.
