Like many talented Russians, Frolov received the enigma tag after failing to light the lamp similarly to an Ovechkin, Malkin or Kovalchuk but he certainly does have the talent to [...]

The Value 25

The best way to describe this list is if you go to the waiver wire in your individual fantasy league (personally, I use Yahoo!) and find that Alexei Ponikarovsky, Tim Connolly, or Ryan Clowe are all available, this list is not for you.
