Thats what it will probably be like. Unless Clarkson starts playing good him and Santorelli will switch. Also I would rather use Franson + to get Bieksa.

No way Gardiner is playing on the 3rd pairing.

If we play Franson top line we will get murdered...

I see him as Phaneuf's D partner personally
That leaves Rielly with Robidas (since Nonis said 1 of them would be)
Two rightys on the bottom pair means I can't see Granberg sticking as the 7th man. I guess Stu-Per-Man might get the nod

Those eye glasses held up well for the past 60 years, not many scratches.

i don't think so, when you have the bottom two forward lines competing hard every night and playing about 20 minutes it takes a lot of pressure off of the defense and the top two lines
two years ago Franson was our best defense man on quite a few nights

Go Nederland!

Phaneuf and Franson are a terrible pair when we are up a man, let alone at even strength.

I loved watching the beauty of Gardiner-Rielly on second PP unit last year. They really made the slowness and lack of mobility in the top unit stick out

I may be a Brit but I was loving every moment of that scoreline...

Go Nederland!

Phaneuf and Franson can't play together...ever.

sure he tries hard, but putting our two least mobile guys together - one on his off side - just spells disaster to me...

Franson couldn't handle #3/#4 minutes, why on earth does he move up to #2?? The LEafs have already said that Reilly and Gardiner are moving up in terms of responsibility and they got Robidas as a UFA. IF.... IF Franson is still here he's most certainly not playing #2 with Dion. That is 100% certain.

Go ARGENTINA

Well he was the worst on most every night last year. Two years ago Fraser covered a lot for him really. The guy is garbage, hope he's gone. Would rather Granberg there than Franson which I think end up happening anyway since it's the Leafs.
