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?
- djamon

I think after 23 or 24 mins he has a noticeable drop heaven forbid people realize that after carrying a defence core for half a game he might lose a bit of his mental edge

Jamie Benn, Lindy Ruff, and Ryan Miller were the first three people that I thought of on Monday when Team Canada announced its men's hockey Olympic invitation camp.

What a farce.


He also thinks that three of millers direct completion for the USA starters job play in his division.

Bryz not even invited to Russias Oly. Camp

Oh well, Canada gets to play against Flash In The Pan Bob, or Old Man Nabby.

So does Cujo.
And Belfour.
And Reimer.
And J.S. Aubin.
And Healy.

Bad deal. If we lose Franson or Fraser because of this, ill be upset.

I'm not sure if you are trying to be a smartass but if you are, you are failing.

What I'm saying is that when Dion gets tired after playing 25 minutes, he is much more likely to make mistakes in the following minutes that he plays when he's tired than when he's not.

Gunner is better than Fraser, I like Fraser, but a top 4 vs a bottom 2 maybe 7 is not the end of the world. I don't see us losing Franson

How many Olympic gold medals does he have?

Igor Boldin

agreed I like fraser good bottom pairing guy but nothing more then that

Agree....Franson is much more important.

Fraser shows up to play every night.

Gunnerson is plain old average, not someone who should be on this D in 2014-15 with the kids coming up.

I ve got some scotch around herr somewhere...
*pees in bottle*
Oh found it

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

nah they likely move Liles and retain $1-$1.5M of his salary. Frees up over $2M in cap.

BUT BUT +/-!!!!!
- AdamFrench

gunnarsson was on pace for a 33 pt season over 82 games...........

yes, franson was better, but gunnarsson is good........ (franson on pace for 52 pts)

They are 25 and 26 years old respectively. Keep both IMO. ship dion out, like I said, to make salary room.

Although, Franson got less ATOI than Gunnarsson. We need to keep tihs guy.

Great partner if we are keeping Phaneuf.

I say we trade any player that cannot trace their lineage to at least 3 generations of Canadian.

Thank you

Leafs will sign everyone and all will be fine, Nonis will figure out a way to get it all done.
