@mirtle question is how much... I'm hearing 6x6 for Franson

@dstaples Stauffer and Garrioch expect Franson to sign with Leafs

halp

 

[Curufinwe]

Sounds like a Hunwick deal isn't getting done, so he's going to free agency.

Rangers are going to be in need of a 7D. Chris Summers is pretty much the top of the depth chart right now, and that's probably not going to cut it.

Colaiacovo was good as a 7D for us last year.

 

[Samyy]

Franson still hasn't learned to play in his own zone.

Noooo
You really are from Hfboards ((

 

[zroid]

You won't be fine in year 3-4, when were starting to compete and Franson still hasn't learned to play in his own zone.

Garroich is a bad source though.

Nah, I'm pretty high on Franny tbh. Statistically he's been one of the better D-men in the league for quite a while.

but again I don't know if it's a good fit at this moment in time

 

[Pikma]

when they mentioned an incident 'at the border' I instantly thought Mexico.

But I guess Canada also has a border.

Wait what? Canada is a country? I always thought it was just another state

 

[DopeyFish]

Noooo
You really are from Hfboards ((

but there is the patented franson turnover that leads to a goal almost every game

 

[Yawnier]

If Franson signs for that much and for 6 years I am jumping ship to the Jets

 

[bonesmccoy]

If Franson signs I am jumping ship to the Jets

ftfy

 

[Pikma]

Dillon contract is ridiculously fucking good. Vlasic/Dillon/Burns/Braun locked up as our top four is so fucking great. Now just need a reliable third pairing.

A first rounder for Jones seems fucking crazy.

Dillon is ridiculously fucking good, just like his contract.

 

[Jblanks]

Noooo

Haha, I was actually a really big Franson fan when we made the playoffs; he was great in that series. But these last 2 years, he continually made too many mistakes - pinching way too much causing 2on1s, not reading the right play in the D zone,turnovers, etc.

Nah, I'm pretty high on Franny tbh. Statistically he's been one of the better D-men in the league for quite a while.

but again I don't know if it's a good fit at this moment in time

Don't get me wrong, I would take him at 3 years x 6mil, but 6 years is too long.

 

[Razorskin]

Franson is so damn polarizing :lol

 

[Foggy]

Scuttlebutt is that Mark Letestu isn't going to be resigned

As long as his contract isnt absurd, he'll be well-liked wherever he ends up. Just about as good a center as you would want on the 4th line and penalty kill.

 

[zroid]

Don't get me wrong, I would take him at 3 years x 6mil, but 6 years is too long.

I would feel a lot better about it if we knew Phaneuf were out the door already

anyways this could all be BS so whatever

 

[eyeless]

i like franson but that's too much for too long, doesn't really make that much sense to me considering our situation

if it happens i'll just accept it tho and assume they know what they're doing wrt the cap, i'd take franson back for sentimental reasons

Turns out Stephen Weiss didn't need waivers b/c modified NTC. 25 mins before deadline, hearing good chance buyout happens. #RedWings

If that's patented, Matt Carle is going to have quite the lawsuit on his hands.

I thought Mexico too. We are very Californian.

[Plinko]

I wonder how many GMs are seeing these tweets and trying to call Bowman up.

 

[gaming_noob]

It's all happening at once wtf

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Lets just hope the Criminalitis hasn't fully infected him.

 

[ZeroGravity]

It's done. Saad is a Blue Jacket.

 

[TheKaeptain]

@TSNBobMcKenzie
Brandon Saad traded to CBJ.

 

[apocalidiot]

Holy shit, if they trade Saad I'm going to flip my fucking desk. OR coffee table

 

[Smiley90]

Trade Bieksa or Hamhuis, sign Sekera

do it Benning

do eeeeet

 

[Syrinx]

Damn, guess nobody wanted Sharp.

 

[Razorskin]

Wow at the Saad trade, I thought he would stay.

 

[lamaroo]

Why couldn't the Habs have traded for Saad, fuck.

 

[ZeroGravity]

Holy shit, if they trade Saad I'm going to flip my fucking desk. OR coffee table

Make sure no one is in the way.

 

[Jblanks]

Holy shit, if they trade Saad I'm going to flip my fucking desk. OR coffee table

Pics please.

 

[Wingfan19]

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC 1m1 minute ago

Saad has been traded to CLB. as @reporterchris tweeted, Anisimov and Dano part of return.

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

My guess is that Saad wanted Bickell money (at least) and the Hawks couldn't offload Bickell.

 

[Smiley90]

@TSNBobMcKenzie
Brandon Saad traded to CBJ.

Holy shit, if they trade Saad I'm going to flip my fucking desk. OR coffee table

RIP apocal's coffee table/desk

 

[Razorskin]

Why couldn't the Habs have traded for Saad, fuck.

I know right? Oh well.

 

[apocalidiot]

I don't believe this shit
