For those concerned that Frolik and the Jets couldn’t get a longer term deal done Gary Lawless added this:

According to the CBA this cannot occur before January 1st, 2015. Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun had this to add:
Most recent discussions between #NHLJets and Frolik camp revolved around either a five-year deal or a one-year deal
