Frolov so far looks better than last year. He is more confident and I think he went to a 12 step program for his wrap around addiction.
He is going to be playing with Stumpel and Palffy, so he should get alot of ice time and have alot of chances.
I think 40-50 points is realistic

and if not what is the other avenue ?

yeah, the stumpel/palffy/frolov line is one of the few things that has been fairly consistant lately. frolov played very well with palffy last year, and stumpel and palffy have always had good chemistry.
even if, hypothetically, frolov fell on the depth chart (unlikely), he would get bumped down to the third line to play with eric belanger, who puts up excellent numbers for a stopper-line center.
frolov is still pretty young, though, and i doubt he'll break out and score in bunches this year. unless your league is huge and deep, he's probably only a good fantasy pick if its a keeper league (in which case he'd be a GREAT pickup).

Yes, the Frolov/Stumpel/Palffy line will pretty much be the top line for the Kings until Allison and Deadmarsh make it back, then they'll be the 2nd line after those 2 return. Andy Murray has been saying pretty much all summer that that would be the 2nd line, but seeing as JA and AD are out, it's the top line. I would expect to see them together all season, unless the line really faulters badly.
I don't know how much p.p. time Frolov will get after JA and AD return, cause you could see the Deadmarsh/Allison/Palffy line reunited for the top p.p. unit, with Luc/Stumpel/??? as the 2nd p.p. unit. Maybe they'll try Frolov on the right side for the 2nd p.p. unit.
I expect to see 20+ goals from him this season playing alongside Palffy and Stumpel.
