Cody Franson

[Bloody Brian Burke]

This seems strikingly similar to the Kyle Quincey bridge deal Ken Holland took so much crap for.

Franson has 62 points past two seasons; Quincey has 16. Where's the comparison?

 

[BGDave]

To illustrate how bad the Franson contract is,

Otis' team just re-upped Roussel for 4 years at 1.6/1.8/2.2/2.4

I would sign Roussel all day at those numbers in comparison to Franson's contract. Notwithstanding it is only for 1 year.

As BBB keeps saying, they better trade him.

The comparison is in team situations. Quincey/Franson was not their first, second or third choice to fill out their defensive corps. The Wings/Leafs have intriguing talent in their AHL affiliate, but the team feels those prospects are not quite ready for the big stage, so they settled with re-signing last year's guy to a short-term deal to allow those prospects more development time before bringing them up.

There is some positive stat that he ranks top 3 or 5 in the league for. I saw it on TSN last week, I just can't for the life of me remember what it was and can't find it. Dragon might know.

Either way, i'm not crying over $3.5 million for a year of Franson.

Not sure about what stat you're talking about, but he's 20th in the league in points over the last two years. That's not top 5, but it's nothing to sneeze at. I think he could be a sneaky good pickup for another team that wants to see if he can be deRandyed. His biggest problem last year seemed to be putting himself out of position looking to finish hits, the kind of thing that pleases Randy but can give up goals.

Well ...... if your gonna be all logical about it.......

I hate it when that happens.

Andreas Johnson is another guy, he had a very good season last year playing against men as a 19 year old and was the Swedish League Rookie of the Year.

Knew I was forgetting one. I'm more optimistic about him and Granberg than I am Finn or Percy.

While not disagreeing, I think the difference Leafs fully intend to move Franson, while Quincey will be in Wings camp.

I think there's one other guy who wouldn't Loov to hear that you forgot about him either

All you need is Loov

I didn't forget him, just think he needs a year in the AHL still. The others I could see at the big club this winter.

Quincey on occasion is useful in the defensive Zone ?!?!?!?!

Send him to the Preds where he can team up with minor hockey D partner Weber

You are presuming that DL has been to prison Abe and abstained.
