It's curious to me how highly touted he is by the analytic guys and yet this is the best offer he can get at the moment.Franson needs to fire his agent
Man I would have been more than okay paying Franson that
Gormley was rated by a lot of people to be one of the best D prospects in the league for a while there, wonder what went wrong.
On another note, Kassian is hilariously well characterized in NHL 16

Same here, desepratly need a 2nd pair dman.
I think it's more of a disconnect between GM / Management guys and analytics people. A lot of teams have hired analytic guys, so you would think someone other than the Sabres would give him a decent offer. Weird situation.I think people zeroed in on his time with the Preds, combine that with the cap stuff and it just feels like everything went wrong for him at that point. He would have got more if he did stay with the Leafs since he was actually playing well.
Same thing happened to Santarelli.

Well, thats... something.
Short term and light on cash. Seems like a pretty great move to me.
Jesus, the roster turnover on this team is incredible.
I don't think the Leafs would have put in an offer on Franson regardless to distance themselves from the roster we had last year.
Steve Dangle just tweeted this out: http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/headlines-franson-maple-leafs-cant-agree/
Apparently Franson turned down a $4.6mil multiyear offer from the Leafs, I don't remember seeing this but damn, fire that agent Franson!
Sabres suddenly have a ton of centers. Could be adding O'Reilly, Eichel, and Reinhart.
I was just looking at your roster and you may be able to ice two really good forward lines
That defence though....
Moulson - ROR - Kane
Ennis - Eichel - Girgensons
Not bad
More like Franson needs to fire himself into the sun
More like Franson needs to fire himself into the sun, more likely that his agent brought back that offer to him and he declined it.
I'm wouldn't be too surprised if Reinhart stole the spotlight from Eichel this season. He's much bigger than last year, dominated rookie camp, and just carries himself like a pro.
The defense needs work, but Ristolainen and Pysyk should be pretty solid back there. Franson should take some of the minutes to allow those guys to grow into bigger roles.
If Lehner is good, this team could surprise.
Yea I think it'll be interesting to see, on paper its hard to see how the Leafs are better than your team right now if Lehner holds up.
This bodes well for the tank!
Creeper, please tell me which lottery numbers you like, that way I'll know which ones not to buy.Honest Predictions for This Season's Stanley Cup Final?
I'm gonna say Dallas Vs A Canadian Team.
I'm probably going to be wrong though.
Also do you guys Think Kane won't be a Blackhawk by the end of this season.

This NHL 16 early access just lets you play against the computer as Chicago or Tampa. Lame.
Yea, I realized that after, problem was it took me 5 hours to download the trial for whatever reason. Game feels more polished but not radically different, hopefully I can get some more time with it this weekend.Did you go back after completion?
That was only during early download percentage. I played a playoff series vs. my buddy, Rangers and Habs. Gonna see if BAGM works now!
Just because we all have Creeper's avatar doesn't mean we share his shocking opinionsWhat makes you guys think Dallas will make it to the SCF? We can't even beat the Avs.

This coming year will be the first year of a decade of Ducks/Habs Finals.

I'm actually okay with this. Everyone would want this Final.
Watch Sekac score the winning goal for you guys lol
As an unbiased viewer, this would be best for the NHL, and really, the world.
Bergevin said that Galchenyuk will play centre this season.
