Not hard to imagine. If Franson could get some feet transplants he'd be making Dions money. As of now he's a bit lumbering.

Or notice his absence from the PK
- Big_Lightnin

That is the tell...... speaks volumes.

And you aren't getting someone better than Dion to play with Dion unless you want 14-15 mill tied up in your top pair.
- robin_steele264

Yup.

Like Robin says, gotta look long and hard to find somebody better than Dion...just aren't that many guys out there better than him.

Fully agree with you Robin. Well said.

Carlyle seem to think he's not as good defensively as gunnarson, base on how he uses them.

Franson does some things well, he really does - but playing in his own zone is not one of them. Hopefully he can improve.

He should be the #1 shooter on the PP though. He's so much better than DP at getting his shots through to the net.

Anybody else notice Bozak got a NTC?

Nonis went overboard.

Fire Carlyle.

Are you freakin kidding me?
WTF is Nonis thinking?

Yup.

Glad we agree Dion is so overpaid it makes it impossible to win the Cup with him on the roster.


Finally we find middle ground.

Now that's a good question

It's a Modified NTC

Doesn't that usually mean the player just won't accept a trade to x number of teams.

Agree .. prefer it's not there but if it just says Bozak won't go to Phoenix and Florida etc not earth shattering.

Core's starting to age. They're gonna trade them off for draft picks, and tank for a better group.


(Smyth will stay. He's untouchable)

The Modified NTC probably stipulates that he can only be traded to teams Phil Kessel is on.

wtf are you serious?




Smyth alone could get them several 1sts.

- Fakepartofme

meh. says mondified. No details yet, but I would imagine it isn't very limiting. Pretty much everybody gets some kind of NTC nowadays.

Just so they can veto a trade to Winnipeg essentially.

yup... could also only mean he only has 1 for the first 2 years, or the last year, or some poop like that.

I doubt it's very limiting

things could have been so different

Dany Heatley for Andrew Cogliano, Dustin Penner and Ladislav Smid.

heatley screwed you out of multiple cups

Yup.

Also Pronger, Hossa, Rosival and Jagr (there's still a chance though!!!)

- Big_Lightnin

could be wrong but i thought i read it was one where he could provide list of 10 teams he won't go to

I'd keep Gunnar. Even on one hip he was one of our better d-men. The guy is still young, and I think we tend to take his production for granted.

So go with a d of Phaneuf, Franson, Gardiner, Gunner, Fraser.........

the one guy that needs to go is Liles not Gunner.......
