i kinda get this feeling franson may be the odd man out after that gunnar signing, anyone else?

Bozak signs with Leafs, Canada wins Gold

so... did bozak sign and hten canada won gold?

yes? so then obviously canada can't win without bozak

Tavares had a career Olympic run with Bozak as his center. Clearly Tavares is nothing without Bozak.

You said its been 3 years since he was top ten... It's been 2 years... So you changed it to seasons in your next post, admitting you were wrong.

He's still a top 10 goalie in the league, and better than any goalie the Leafs have had in their history.

Yup. Sadly.

i agree, but unless liles is unloaded i dont think we have enough $ to sign kadri, franson..

- big_dion

Hmm, doesn't look like a goalie to me!

- big_dion

i think it'd be a better idea to unload liles and eat some salary to make it possible to retain franson

although that would be our third salary retention trade of the year and may handcuff us later

ship dion out and resign franson. Franson is the future dion

truth is, dion has showed that once he logs 1st pairing dman minutes, if he has to log a few more, he's prone to huge mental lapses...

Yes, he plays well when his minutes are contained and managed but once he plays #1 D minutes + overtime, he's no good

Have you been dropped on your head too much?

How many Olympic gold medals does he have?

In hindsight yes, I agree. But Schneiders value wasn't that high 3 years ago...then this year it was actually lowered because of the circumstances. Gillis (frank)ed up big time, hopefully Horvat makes us all forget this situation.

Joseph and Belfour were not better consistently over 10 years...maybe a season or two, but not the consistency. Sawchuk and Bower had WAY worse numbers than Luongo. And sawchuk only played 3 seasons with the leafs.

So you're saying if Dion plays 27 minutes he'll make more mistakes than if he played 22? Like...5 minutes worth more mistakes?

yup because that's the be all and end all of measuring sticks
- dragus84

It sure is...... 4 possibilities with NHL players to win Olympics. Bower sucks because he doesn't have a gold, ignoring that he never had the chance to play for one.

Genius.

I hope not.
The LEafs cannot afford to lose Franson.
I'd prefer Franson over Gunnar.
