Franson was bad this year.

But no, he's not worse than Schenn.
Not even close.
- Fakepartofme

remember his alt is schenn-sational or something

i think we got a touch of bitterness here

for what, 10 games in a throwaway season?

Mind you, at the time I was certain Carlyle was going to get the forwards to help the defense more, and get the team to be hard-hitting SOBs.

Schenn probably would have been a beast last season, when that was true.
- Feeling Glucky?

Schenn was and will never be "a beast" at anything relating to playing defense.

The only thing he is "a beast" at is wasting cap space.
Garbage.

Luke Schenn has the same amount of NHL playoff goals as Jake Gardiner.
- honesthockey

I forgot Gio; he would look very nice in hometown blue
- lumlums

Yup. Gardiner, Kadri and a few roles of white tape shoulda done it.

- Dozzer

He's not dead. You stunned him.

oh hells no.. and i hate franson
- Dozzer

This is true.

Franson was my one incorrect prediction this year.....but all the rest came true.....unfortunately.

and the same amount as Bozak

This is true.

You're better than Corsi.

and the same amount as Bozak
- senstroll

Correct. But Bozak isn't an offensive defensemen

Fire Carlyle

Trade - Dion, Lupul, Franson and Bozak
Sign - Stastny, Niskanen, Stralman
- senstroll

Adding to this..

Maybe Trade Dion + whatever for Eric Staal. he is 29 with 2 years left @ 8.25

3 Centers Staal, Stastny, Kadri

Adding to this..

Maybe Trade Dion + whatever for Eric Staal. he is 29 with 3 years left @ 8.25

- senstroll

You'd have to trade for Jordan too.

I'm okay with Marc coming once his deal is up too.

You're better than Corsi.

I eat corsi for lunch!


Or was that chicken?

Franson only looked good when Fraser was playing over his head

and they were up against bottom grinder lines

he's just a bad d-man.. nice shot.. but thats about it

Gotta make that glue, yo!

So we'll have no money for defenseman?
Carolina can keep Eric, he will simply cost too much.

Trade for Marc, he's the only Staal I would like to see on the team.

Mmmmm, corsi marinara....

maybe then his opinion will stick

maybe then his opinion will stick
- Dozzer

Whoa are you telling me opinions don't stick you mean I waver?

I better get back on the Gardiner topic if my opinion isn't coming across

He's not dead. You stunned him.
- honesthockey

no no.. stunned is the look on gardiner's face 99% of the time

HEY YO

Whoa are you telling me opinions don't stick
- honesthockey

you've been trying to convince everyone how much gards sucks

its not sticking.. thats why i gave up

i want him traded as much as you but i am tired of wasting my breath

J.staal has 9 more years at 6mil
thats tough to swallow
- senstroll

Pierre Maguire told me Jordan would make Team Canada easily this year. He's the best kept secret in the league.

no no.. stunned is the look on gardiner's face 99% of the time

HEY YO
- Dozzer

every NHL defensemen gets the puck to the middle of the ice. Not Jake. Facing the boards is better.

So we'll have no money for defenseman?

Trade for Marc, he's the only Staal I would like to see on the team.
- Fakepartofme

would have to do the math and see what was left

but dion/Franson out, Niskanen/stralman in would be decent if you are getting stronger down the middle. But look for 1 more decent dman

Staal has only 2 years left. not a problem even is 8mil

you've been trying to convince everyone how much gards sucks

its not sticking.. thats why i gave up

i want him traded as much as you but i am tired of wasting my breath

GARDINER FOR CAPTAIN!!!!
