F*** your ice cream!
Detroit not resigning him may have been a big wake up call
There is obvious talent, but hard work is more important

We claimed Kyle Quincey from Detroit and he was good before eventually being traded for Smyth.
It’s only logical that in a few years we will trade Frk for Landeskog. We will then flip Landeskog to Edmonton for our future 4th line center and win the cup.

Luc and Rob are a waste of time and money.

Great deal. One of the few players I like this year besides Big Mac and Vilardi.

Perfect bridge player that could maybe be more than that.

Really excited about this signing, he is a fun player to watch and is the perfect age to supplement the transition.

That pass from Vilardi and finish from Frk the other night was probably the most exciting play I’ve seen in years from the Kings and a small glimmer of something different to come from some fresh faces.

i mean he hasn't really "proved" anything beyond his hunger, i'm sure he's happy to have an NHL contract at this point
pay him less and give him a guaranteed term one-way, he's probably stoked. gives him incentive to perform too, knowing he'll potentially be in line for a nice extension with a growing team
even if he doesn't pan out this is very low risk, high potential reward, i like it

Let's play some 4D chess with the GM.
Frk was signed last summer when the organization went looking for someone that could provide some experience for Ontario, a tweener for the lack of a better word, a player destined most likely for the AHL. Someone who has shown he has some offensive prowess, but coming off such a poor season the year prior would likely clear waivers at the end of camp. He was never destined to be in the cards for the Kings this season, but he gave them a player with 100 games of NHL experience and a heavy shot to boot. And Frk did just that, sailing through waivers like he was competing in the America's Cup.
Frk joined the Reign and was the offensive leader for a team that started off strong, but started losing key players (Kupari/Kempe/no Vilardi at the start) and surrounded by a lot of inexperienced D men, struggled substantially mid-season. But Frk never slowed down. He just kept putting the puck in the net.
Frk was called up twice, once for a day before Christmas, and once for 10 days at the end of 2019. Frk scored 3 goals in 4 games during that call up at the end of 2019, but why send him back when he was actually scoring Kings fans asked.
Frk was recalled from loan to ONT once again on February 12th while leading the Reign with 23 goals and after being named an AHL All-Star. But why February 12th?
Since Frk already cleared waivers this season, he can play 10 NHL games and be on the NHL roster for 30 days cumulative before having to clear waivers again. He is waiver exempt as long as he stays within those parameters. His recall on February 12th ensured he could play no more than 6 additional games prior to the trade deadline on the 24th. Sunday's game will put him at 10 games (not a coincidence).
Why does it matter? We'll the Kings likely want the option (if they choose to do so) to put him on the AHL roster at the trade deadline (so he is eligible to play for the Calder Cup if the Reign make it), and he won't have to clear waivers for the one-day paper transaction since he's still exempt. This also means Frk will be here after the trade deadline for the remainder of the NHL season since he'll no longer be waiver-exempt unless they decided to keep him in ONT the remainder of the season to help the Reign (I don't see that happening, especially after signing this contract today).
Funny how things work out. Happy for him and I'll think he'll be a contributor for the next few years. We can certainly use a player that can put the puck in the net.

Right. Toffoli 'replacement' for cheap, low risk, high reward, good fit.
Re: what someone was asking about Detroit--we're different in that we have a team full of good two-way players but no scorers. His weaknesses are still apparent, but he's like adding Gaborik to the 2014 Kings--you need someone who can actually score. May as well take a chance on him and see if he can develop to also not be a liability to the extent that his offensive prowess will supersede his defensive concerns.
