Damien Cox - Sounds like the Leafs may be close to signing D Paul Ranger to a one year contract, outbidding a bunch of other clubs.

possible it is for the Marlies only again..

Confirming tweets, Paul Ranger has signed with the Leafs.

Yeah, but he was gonna save Edmonton.

I hope they do sign him and he can make it back.

It will be Leafs only this time not Marlies, Franson as I said all along is going to be traded, I have a gut feeling about it.

Would like to see the numbers, can't be too much, as he has been away from NHL and needs to re-establish himself. However, if they did outbid other teams...who knows what the cap hit will be. If low enough, he might just replace Fraser and they let him walk after arbitration.

yeah you could be correct on that...so the only other way he fits, is a trade is on the horizon....

seems that way

seems to me one of franson or liles has to be on way out

unless the dion blockbuster is coming. which despite a lot of dion haters opions, i think it would be hard to find a replacement for dion

I agree, there would not be a player on the roster that could fill those minutes, and I doubt there would be one coming back in any trade.
