On the 7 October 1985, Frawley was picked up off waivers by the Pittsburgh Penguins, the team he'd spent the next four years (the rest of his NHL career) with. His apparent leadership on the Penguins, was recognized with his appointment as captain in October 1987, a role he would hand over to Mario Lemieux two months later, because of an injury that kept him out of the lineup.

Amerks Hall Of Fame

In 2003 Frawley was selected to the Rochester Americans hall of fame. His contributions as a long time player, and his work ethic earned him this honor.
