Nah, he wants around 3.5, the leafs want him for under 3. If he were offered sheet, it would be for around 3.5 - 4....so it would be a mid 1st and a 3rd. The leafs wont let him go for that....I dont believe.

franson for a 1st and a 3rd?

where is the pick? #1-29?

Kadri is on a yatch right now
- robin_steele264

Is he yachting with MJL destroying the integrity of the game?

- senstroll

who cares?

we got this guy at a cost of paying lombardi's salary for a year, slaney, and lebda

franson has a nice wrist shot he gets through on net

beyond that.. he really is nothing special at all.

everyone said the same thing about kadri til he got a real shot
- Dozzer

No...I dont recall that....I seem to recall everyone wanting the leafs to give him a shot.
Colborne will be a decent 3rd liner.....I wouldnt expect much else from him.

No, Im talking about Kadri.

Franson will be resigned in the next week.
The Leafs need him.

Letting him walk without a replacement would be stupid.
The leafs D isnt that great...now without Cody.....oh boy....

ah yes...throw away players like franson grow on trees.

if the pick would be 15+ its very unlikely the leafs would get a player comparable to Franson...and then it would be 5 years down the road.

102 games with the leafs, 50 points. I dont think his full potential is realized.
13 points in 23 playoffs games.

i am glad you are not running the leafs.

So you're saying the players of today (lets say since the 04-05 lockout) have the same priorities and desire to win as those in the late 80s/early 90s?

Guys on hockeycentral talking Dion right now.


Describe him as a top 4 minute muncher who hurts his team when overplayed and not someone you wanna pay 7 million long term.

5 mill should be what the Leafs give him.

i've seen a lot of posts from Leaf fans this summer saying the exact opposite.

They must not have watched him play at all...

Counter that it's very likely that Dion looks at all options out there before considering a pay cut

Well in the playoffs he had 6pts in 7games, Chara and Keith got 15 and 13 in 22 games.
Regular season he had 8th most pts of defensmen, he averaged just under 19 mins of ice time, tied with Pa-neuf with 3 PWG and I believe he was up there in hits.
So I dont think he's easily replaceable for nothing.

what would happen if he just remains unsigned going into next offseason? any idea?
- scotch_tape

He'd lose his house?

Once their contracts are signed? absolutely.

Those guys are never wrong!
TSN was yapping after the playoffs he would be getting 6.5 ish.

Take it for what its worth.
Thanks for nothing!

kypreos is a (frank)ing moron, seriously

True. But I like what he said about Kadri.

Question is do the Leafs wanna pay him that much. I don't think Nonis does

5.5 for Dion would be where I would be comfortable.

he should just take the pay cut to hopefully eliminate the "overpaid" "overrate" comments that are non stop.... but i am sure they would continue even at 4million

I think he might take a lower cap hit on a long term deal that drop as he hits 34 -37

Every media guy I've heads doesn't think he's worth his pay.


But of course every single one of them is a stupid moron lately.

I'd say with don Meehan in his corner he will look at all options for max $$$

Not saying he is worth it....not too many players are worth what they are paid.

A dont be sad little one.
