I don't see it. Is this confirmed?

Franson is likely going for an established 4million dollar d man.

Oui

been saying it for awhile myself

he'd be the perfect 7th.. a guy on the cheap who you can sit 90% of the games.

steps in if someone is hurt while you wait for a call up to join the team
- Dozzer

Yeah I wouldn' mind Ranger back as a 7th, think Percy needs one more year in the AHL. He can be emergency call up.

Oui

Ok then.

Just looking at Cap Geek - they seem pretty quick to update things and he still shows as unsigned. That's why I was confused.

Seriously. Why the hell haven't they resigned Bodie yet?

This guy was one of the nicer surprises last season. He's got size, he competes and can actually play... He's everything that a 4th line banger should be.

Nonis and Shanny need to wake the (frank) up on this one. He could probably be signed for a couple years with an AAV <$900k.

okay... call me crazy... but is the following scenario even possible?


1) Leafs buyout Gleason's contract (we all know this) - makes Gleason FA
2) Gleason signs with Carolina as FA (for 1M or so)
3) Leafs trade Franson's rights to Carolina for Gleason?

is that plausible?

It's not illegal. But it's a disgusting return.

Caroline said no trade backs. And stamped it.

- Bigzby

that still leaves the 7th guy open

Man, I'd be really happy if Nonis can get E. Kane for Reimer (other pieces involved obvs). Having him and Kadri on the 2nd line together? Perfect secondary scoring, and both play with an edge.

Thanks.

you dont want percy sitting in the press box, you want him playing

the guy in the press box should have zero meaning to the future of the franchise

But then, there wasn't really any point in buying Gleason out in the first place

that still leaves the 7th guy open
- Dozzer

I'm not even sure they carry an extra D, likely just emergency call up a kid. Kinda dumb but crazier things have happened and I don't see an AHL guy sitting in the press box all year.

Thanks.

I'm there for ya buddy!

franson, reimer, 3rd rounder + prospect

i wonder if that would spark any intrest.

at this time: here is my take, and i dont care if people hate seeign these i like to do them to see what we are looking at

jvr-bozak-kessel
lupul-kadri-clarkson
komarov-santorelli-holland
bodie-kontiola-frattin

phaneuf-robidas
gardiner-polak

I'm not sure why people hate these - everybody does it. Haters b haters I guess. Still need to trade Franson for a lefty that can skate and defend.

I think you swap Santorelli and kontiola.

From what I understand, Kontiola isn't a defensive guy at all, but is good offensively.

Maybe somehting like

Komarov-Kontiola-Holland
Frattin-Santorelli-Bodie

More offensive 3rd, and damn decent 4th.

- peddy-93

Reports are the Jets demanding Tinordi + from the Habs in any deal involving Kane...So ya it would take a whole lot more that Reimer....

i think we will see a mix up on the bottom 2 lines.

honestly id be fine with santorelli on the 2nd line and clarkson on the third.

- Bigzby

that would be dumb of them if they go that route

what happens if the marlies are on the east coast and the leafs are on the west coast (or vice versa) and say gardiner goes down to a fluke injury during the pre game skate?

play the game with 5 D?

you need a 7th D
