Franzen was awful to start the season. Awful. And that was coming off an underwhelming end to the previous season and his playoff monster reputation being pretty much gone.
Franzen's start to the season:
13 GP, 5 Pts (.38 p/g), -2
He then missed 11 days, came back and has done the following with another injury in between:
26 GP, 29 Pts (1.12 p/g), +12
Two completely different players.
When you say he had an underwhelming end to the last season I assume you actually meant simply the playoffs because otherwise you're just dead wrong. In the last 13 reg. season games last year he was exactly a PPG and he was a main contributor on getting us into the playoffs.
I agree he wasn't great in the playoffs but he still managed to be tied second in goals scored.
Still, talking of buying him out was ridiculous then and it's ridiculous now.
