Can he play the PK then?
Doubt he'll last to see the Kings make a claim but maybe they're interested.I definitely see Franson being claimed here. He hasn't been bad statistically this year, 7 points in 23 games isn't bad and he has kick ass possession stats. He'll definitely get claimed by a team with a weak bottom pair or a team that needs powerplay help.
Don't think Franson's hockey IQ is good enough for how the Kings play. Kings already have cheaper options. Only see Franson helping their PP a bit, but he wouldn't provide much more for what the Kings might be looking for.Doubt he'll last to see the Kings make a claim but maybe they're interested.
Corsi I understand. Like +/- it has its uses, but it riddled with holes.
What I do not get is peoples devotion to it .....
It's all about context. Cody Franson has always been an advanced stats darling, and that rel.CF% does look real nice to someone who doesn't fully understand that. What's missing is his quality of competition and zone starts to give that number some context; which both show he's a sheltered 3rd pairing defenseman. Thing is though if someone uses him properly (like Chicago was) he can actually be a very useful piece in a top-heavy (meaning the top-pairings take on ridiculous competition) defensive system (Leafs, Sharks, Kings, etc).
Franson is a gigantic upgrade on Polak in every way, and it would without a doubt help Borgman 5v5 (who's played literally the easiest minutes of any defenseman to play more than 500 minutes).
Also, just so everyone knows, Polak isn't really that good on the PK, he's just a guy who would take a puck to the face for his team. Rielly, Hainsey, and Zaitsev are all better, and Franson has shown to be a decent penalty killer in his short stints.
The other thing that inflates the hell out of his corsi and not taken into consideration is ratio of high danger vs low danger shots from him and with him on the ice and even strength

He's much better than Mayfield
Standings by point%.Anyone know the current waiver priority/order? I could see a few teams being interested so it would be nice to know. Unless I'm dumb and it's just as simple as last place to first.
