The young forward has some nice offensive skills but had to work on his defensive side of the game according to former coach Keith McCambridge. With the Oilers he will have an opportunity to play big minutes and perhaps get himself ready for an opportunity with Manitoba.
Moose Release:

Fronk, 22, played 33 games with the Moose in 2015-16, totaling eight points (6G, 2A). The Louny, Czech Republic native also suited up for five games with Tulsa last season, picking up two points over that span.
