Trade the guy, he's probably worth at least 5.5m on the free market and honestly I think the piece we get back in trade will be more valuable in the long run.

 

[Rare Jewel]

4.25 is my ceiling with him.

So if that's the case, See ya Cody.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Letting your lame duck GM hand out multi-year deals? sounds like the Leafs to me. Re-signing Franson after trying to deal him and when this team desperately needs a rebuild and picks is absolutely insane.

 

[Rayzorexe]

Just trade him.

Just trade the guy. This organization can't help itself. If there was no cap they would spend $90M and still barely scrape into the playoffs

 

[Bomber0104]

Toronto is not the team that needs to outspend 29 other teams in the NHL.

Trade for picks immediately.

 

[HockeyAndWings]

The Leafs better get some picks for Franson and some of our other players that are on their way out. None of this letting assets walking for nothing that the Leafs have been doing in the past.

 

[Leafidelity]

Just what we need, more multi-year deals

The phanuef speculation doesn't make sense because they are looking for cap relief like someone mentioned

What are the other 2 to 3 mill contracts leafs have? Go for a couple more years?

Robidas? Any forwards?

Robidas for richards +

Franson and 2 mill contract for Richards +

 

[Ari91]

OF course they would do this. Year after year the team finds new ways to collapse and year after year management decides that these very same players need to be a part of the core moving forward by paying them lots of money for long term.

The lack of success isn't a problem with the depth players yet they are the ones that are constantly being reshuffled.

 

[Morbo]

buhbye Cody.

 

[SprDaVE]

Just trade him.

 

[thewave]

Low ball offer. He is worth 5+

 

[dubplatepressure]

In what world does Richards for Franson or Robidas make any sense. Sheesh...

The one where you are rebuilding an can get more for an asset by taking on cap space

If you can get a top 20 pick in a deep draft + a good prospect for a pending ufa

But you won't because they won't give you that for a pending FA. And, do you have any idea how messed up our team would be financially with Richards and Clarkson contracts? Yikes.

If the team is built with. Young player elc and 2nd contracts it doesn't matter

The next 4 years aren't going. To be cap ceiling years.

But I'm assuming they do agree to that deal. I don't do something like that unless the over payment

 

[SprDaVE]

Can we just... like... gut this team all ready? Please ship off the mess before they get injured.

Get the young players ice time. Just ****ing do it all ready.

I can't watch these emotionless games with a bunch of millionaires that can't score or play a high energy game. I don't care if we don't score for the rest of the year with a few youngsters, at least I'll be able to watch some of these players.

 

[CerebralDevil]

Kadri and Bozak are non-existent, Holland is the only centre doing anything for the leafs. Tired of watching these lazy bums, get a real centre and people think Richards wouldn't help? Who's doing anything out there?

 

[p.l.f.]

Maybe Cody's last game as a Leaf ?

 

[Paradoc]

Who the **** thought it was a good idea to pay Franson 4.6 million a year???

What makes you sure that he would, given his current NHL status with a better team?

 

[Orfieus]

He is worth a **** ton more then that so what are you *****ing about? Toronto made the best offer they could and it was turned down so now Toronto is in a trade only situation. Guys the season is only half over and Franson will be gone so have some patience.
