That's a nice D based on potential.
Ranger and Gardiner still need to reach that potential. Gunnarsson needs to rebound from injury.
I also think Liles may rebound, and take Fraser's spot. I know lots of people have lost faith in Liles, but the team seems to have some left, or else he would have been amnestied. - Feeling Glucky?
speaking of liles... lets assume he is the odd man out in order to sign Franson... i'm not up on the new cba in terms of demoting players.
i assume that if he were demoted, a portion of his salary is still retained.. do you know, and if so, how much?
not saying thats what i'd do, just asking |

using this logic, Kotska is worth more than Franson.... - Rockhead_37
nice try
kostka was brought in because gunnar was hurt and the leafs needed a stay at home guy to play with dion
once the season progressed and the rest of the league got their legs kostka didnt get played very much.. did you forget that part?
carlyle played an injured gunnar over a healthy kostka.. so yeah.. not buying that argument at all.
franson is a 5th d-man who gets a lil 2nd pairing PP time. thats not a job description that comes with a big salary.. plain and simple fact |

My dream is actually that Ranger fits nicely with Dion. - Atomic Wedgie

I know, Franson had a very respectable year and in my opinion has more value than Gunner, if you find the right trading partner. But on the Leafs Gunner has more value as we are in need of his ability to stay home. |

Right sorry the facts are wrong because you said so. Watched the games, saw with my own eyes franson playing 3rd pair with Fraser and the numbers back that up.

If franson sits for any length of time, I agree, Liles will get an opportunity to get the ice time he needs to find his game.
Prior to his concussion he was playing well.
Overpaid? Obviously.
A capable d-man? I believe he can be. |

I think Fraser's gonna get the bump. - Feeling Glucky?
Too many non defensive defenseman if we do that, (frank) we will have to win 10-9 games all year. |

The point being, Franson clearly wasn't a better option than an injured Gunnarsson. Nobody on the team was. - Feeling Glucky?
irrelevant, different type of player. don't remember anybody saying Franson was a shut down guy |

Not going to need Liles
Phaneuf / Ranger - hopefully
Fraser / Franson
Gunner can babysit Gardiner - Garnie
But you can't just get rid of Liles.
That's the problem.
You need to get the guy ice time so that he has a chance to re-find his game.
You can't nail him to the bench for three years. |

Sounds like the same poop said about Holzer, Kostka and every other schlub playing beside him.
Is Roman Hamrlik available?...and in 2006 condition? |
