Kack Zassian Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Offseason Vancouver Cody Franson (ex-giant) Toronto Mason Raymond Both players are upcoming RFA's. Franson is a good young 3rd pairing d-man who has top 4 potential. Stuck behind quite a few guys in Toronto. Physical, and strong PP abilities. Raymond is a good young tweener player who can be a top 6 guy. Having an off year, but would be a good asset to a fast young Toronto forward group.

BZRK Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 If we added in a 3rd, I think this would go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Franson is the defencemen version of Raymond. What sad about Franson is that he is 6'5 220 pounds, but is afraid to play physical hockey, kinda like Raymond. Raymond is kinda excused being only 170 pounds, so not sure if A.V will bother playing him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I would do it, if they would. But I doubt they would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Cody Franson Defense Born Aug 8 1987 -- Salmon Arm,BC Height 6.05 -- Weight 213 - thatd be a good addtion to the back end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksBen Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Cody Franson would be awesome here, could easily be top 4/top pair in a few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kack Zassian Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Also should point out that he is an ex-giant which could help with negotiations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stark Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'd do it. If we were able to sign Schultz too, our blueline woes would pretty much be over. We also have up-and-coming players in Tanev, K-naughts, and Sauve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossram Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 We'd probably have to throw in a pick, but I'd do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gally Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Maybe if we add a 5th or 6th rounder I would do that if TOR wants any higher though I wouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sedin's 6th Sense Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I think adding in a 4th on our side would do it - get Franson, dump out Ballard; he's damaged goods over here. A good d-man, but not used effectively by AV = no point of him being here, + it would give us cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thad Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Never really thought of this before but I agree mason raymond would make a perfect Toronto maple leaf lol Highly doubt Burke does it though.. He's stated numerous times that he's looking to get bigger.. I bet he'd trade franson for a bigger decent 3rd or 4th liner or pick/prospect before he'd go for Raymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bunnies Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'd like the addition of Franson, and if we could unload Ballard's contract, we should try and sign Wideman or Suter. Edler - Wideman/Suter Hamhuis - Bieksa Franson - Tanev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
