I have a feeling the Leafs are going to sign Kaberle to fill Franson's spot now.

Yep Kadri ,Bozak JVR and Kessel can fight there own battles..

That's what the rest of the team is for.

Who on Montreal, Buffalo and Boston are going to fight Orr and McLaren?

They got rid of their tough guys.
- jbold

I guess you can matchup Clarkson & Prust

Lucic was always scared of Orr anyway.

Thats not whats most imp for this team...They need someone who can play D Franson makes the team worse in department..

cause if orr lands a bomb on lucic's nose he will be going into MJ status for nose jobs

Offensively he does.
- Fakepartofme

He is very offensive...oh...I see what you mean.
Dion is set to tear it up and be top 10 in D scoring, and Percy can actually move the puck very well, then of course you have Rielly and "The Guard". Who needs more Franson?

Long term is he not destined for the AHL though? What happens if he begins to flop? Does he not get immediately send down when Franson is ready?

Percy could play well for 25-30 games (or less), but will inevitabley hit that rookie wall. The potential issues arises when he plays well for closer to 30 games and the team moves a guy like Franson to keep him on the roster. Bad move.

Percy earned his cup of coffee. Lets see how he does, but lets also humble ourselves and realize he is probably best off in the AHL again this year.

Bout time they acknowledge a camp like his as well.

Chara is still the scariest fighter of anybody who has ever played in the NHL. Chara seldom fights. Even in a skirmish he tends to ease off. But whenever he does go, he tends to destroy whoever stands in front of him.

Everyone should just relax if Orr and McLarin pass waiver (which the most likely will) they can each play 10 games in the NHL before needing waivers again. That's 20 games (if we don't use both) we can add some grit.

Hopefully Percy plays well in the audition and hopefully Franson plays well when he gets back.
Maybe move Franson in January.

#CBJ have agreed to terms with C Ryan Johansen on a 3-year contract. Official announcement to come.

He was due to have a good camp.
It was almost make or break for him.

I still have pleasant memories of him tossing around McCabe like a rag doll.

- Lucas Neilson

That was an awesome fight wasn't it?
You could see the ouchy in Lucic's demeanor after Orr landed that beaut. I think Orr would get killed today though.

Agreed...Thats the perfect situation...

No real surprises for the leafs tbh.How did Nylander look in camp??kid has some skills

Chara can't fight. He uses his height as his advantage. That's all.

Lucic is gonna have a field day with the leafs without Orr or Mclaren

Small, and undersized. Needs time to mature.

Yes. Have to hope for a great start to the season for Franson, and the Leafs don't get caught up in it thinking they may want to keep him.

- HealthyScratch6

Yeah, because those 2 did a lot when it came to Lucic..

Think Orr fought him, what, once? 4 years ago?

"The Guard" we will see if that name sticks 5 games into the year, I still think he's going to need a "Guard" for when he's out of position.
