Ference hasn't been to good for Edmonton
- LeafsFan64

surprising, he's not getting any younger, he's on the small side and he's not playing behind Chara....

who woulda thought it...

Exactly, unless someone throws something at him from left field that he cant resist.

He should get rid of Orr though
- Fakepartofme

If he did get someone out of left field, he could send down Orr and Ranger to free up a couple Mill.

about the hometown discount yes.

they belong in the realm of jack and the beanstock

Ya but Jack and the beanstock never existed!

True.

As long as Orr is not the ice for the leafs anymore

Already have a junk 7dman....No thanks
- Byfuglien Ate Me

Gards, phaneuf,gunner and franson .The youth and lack of experience is probably the real problem

would leafs nation trade bolland for kesler?


- dmnted

only way I think that works is if Leafs include Reimer, Kadri Bozak and 3 1sts...
while Vancouver includes Booth, Luongo (who we need to remind ourselves has a GREAT contract) and of course Corrado.

and at this point... I'll turn it over to the more reasonable minds of the Canuck fans.

Is not the Captain too?

Alot of new responsibilty on his shoulders. Takes time to adjust

He will get less and less ice as the playoffs near and then be sent down IMO.

Folgino.

dare I suggest freakerenkenkenko

not enough around him... he's exposed... not a bad player... but certainly not approaching elite.

I really hope so.

Simply not needed anymore.

oh gawd no.
but he is a good player

Eh, Dozzers a Richard.

Goes against everyone and everything. Haven't you read his new leafs blog?

Dear Leaf fans,

I hate everything.

Sincerely,

Not really a problem to have very good young D men. Franson has been hurt this year from what I hear, hopefully he is better after the break, but it would be nice to add for cheap.

RC mentioned that Franson had been dealing with muscle and hip issues prior to the break. Wonder how much that played into his inability to pivot etc.

Probably a lot ,he doesnt have the in game experience yet .And to try and learn under the gun while dealing with an injury makes it even more difficult i would imagine

Yep look at our blueline ,one minute our kids look unstopable the next they are getting rolled.Young defensmen take time ,iam sure they will be fine.But adding a cheap vet as you say could the tonic to help even insulate them a bit more

It sure helped picking up Gleason...

I dont think anyone expected him to be as effective as he as been.

I was "meh" about the trade....but now Im really loving it.

i liked that deal from the get go

at the very least he was an upgrade on the bottom pairing... the fact he has rounded back into himself and plays second line minutes is fantastic.

we need to move franson for another guy similar to him.

then we will finally have a D that is built the way RC wants it to be.

I was on the cautious side believing it was a side step but it certainly has proved to be much more.

He has really started to help stabilize the defense.

Mark Stuart?

Komi was supposed to be the next captain of the Canadiens.... after that everything went down hill.

Burke's worst signing ever.
