Yeah, you've got to wonder if he's got a handshake agreement and is waiting for a team to make cap space.
*Looks at Scuderi and Kunitz*
Interesting times ahead... I doubt he's still waiting for some huge contract like he may have been in July and I doubt he has zero offers, as low as they might be.
Yeah I assume he does have a handshake agreement, but what other pieces can a team be waiting for? I mean, training camp isn't that far off and most teams are likely going to see what they have, what injuries might occur, etc before making trades and signing other guys.
I suppose Franson could sign a PTO with a team that plans to sign him, let's use the Pens as an example, and then hope they can move Scuds when injuries pop up on other teams. That just seems like way too much of a risk for a guy that was seen as one of the top free agent defensemen.
His agent either sucks, he had way too high of demands, or team scouts all think he blows. Or some combination of the three.
