Dean Lombardi strikes me as the kind of guy who forgets to eat dinner because he's so deep in a thought most would consider trivial. Look at the way he talks. It takes him five minutes to make his point, and half an hour for him to finish because he needs to restate the point six more times. I don't doubt that he genuinely didn't think about how Frolov would feel being called into the office near the trade deadline. There aren't enough hours in the day to overthink every angle on how to build a hockey team and to also overthink interpersonal relations. Comparing his longwinded hockey interviews versus the murmurs about his player relations, we know which direction he points his brain at. I don't think DL is a bad guy but he's definitely not terribly sensitive towards others. If this was meant as some sort of mind game, I don't think he'd be telling Rich Hammond about it.
