Apparently Franson wants a Voynov/Shattenkirk type deal ~4 / year. He deserves it but apparently the leafs are exploring a trade.

Defense are like goaltenders imo....not smart to overpay and give out big deals. Forwards you seem to be able to get away with it more.
In my opinion if Franson signs at 4 mill, Leaf nations expectations go up and if he doesn't produce asap then he'll be the whipping boy...
I personally don't get why alot of Leaf players want big contracts so quickly... they usually end up playing terribly under the microscope. I see the same in Franson.
Grabo $%$%ed and moaned about being bought out, if he had been more realistic with his contract demands he'd still be around but him and his agent worked Burkie because of the alternatives, thats fine, do what you gotta do, but don't cry about it when your gone.
If you truly want to be a Maple leaf then listen to management and be logical, otherwise get the $%$% out of town.
