To all the Cody Franson haters here, you guys know squat. You are all sheep. You agree with the idiots here who condemn the guy and than write "Oh ya, he must stink". On TSN player rankings he placed 220 out of the top 400 players & was ahead of some really good players. He ranked 200 in scoring last year out of 886 players that played in the NHL. Guess he really sucks, you people know squat.

I don't like him because
A) He has held out in contract negotiations EVERY year he has been a leaf
B) He is incredibly slow
C) He makes a lot of bad pinches, and doesnt have the foot speed to get back.

scoring is not everything. The guy got to play heavy minutes on a top 5 powerplay. Rielly had 6 less points in 6 less games playing the #2 powerplay unit, and 3 mins less a game. If Franson was a Left handed shot, I dont even think he would still be a leaf

So you never read it and thought "at what point of this gigantic list did they just start throwing names at it?"

Ahh Franson is effective on the PP and that's about it. When he first got here he seemed to always get his shot through and he had a decent release. Now it seems like he's just going through the motions. Too slow.

Maybe, but McClements corsi is bad cause of the role he is asked to play as well as being over played.

Good thing the leafs got rid of Scrivens, if we had all 3 goalies he would prove to be the best goalie, and we would have a controversy on our hands!

Hate to say it, but it needs to be said.

McClement didn't benefit or help this team in any way. He really had, and has, no use or place on this team. His spot should be given, or at least kept open for, a fresh face or a Marlie who has earned it.

Only thing we'll miss about him is his faceoffs.
