Any rumors today?

Oduya is supposed to be signing today. No one is sure where.

Not big news all in itself, but COULD help move a Franson deal into fruition as well.

Torey Krug aside, I have no idea how this team is going to move the puck out of their own end. Something they already needed to improve upon before the trades. Perhaps the league will permit the Bruins to move the opposing net to the redline.

That or we need another Dman who can competently defend and move the puck effciently. Not easy to find unless you're willing to give something of value up.

So, Sweeney can't be done.

2yr AAV $3.75M - Partial 12 team NTC

 

[BadBruins]

That's a good deal. Perfect price and term.

Feel bad for buffalo.

 

[Dellstrom]

Very fair deal for the Stars. More or less got Sharp and a great prospect in Johns for Garbutt. I thought he was going to get more.

Maybe that brings the price down for Ehrhoff/Franson. Floodgates might open now.

Shouldn't be too long, though.

Decent deal for the Stars, but am I the only one who doesn't really think Oduya is all that good? This kind of reminds me of the Andy Ference sweepstakes.

 

[NewJackEdwards]

Not sure what I'm more skeptical about; The current D situation or Franson in a B's uniform.

He's a good defenseman, but he's a top-4 defenseman and not much more. 3.75m for him is a good deal, he'll play for what he's worth but a lot of people think he's the savior to a brutal Stars defense... If anything he replaces Daley.

 

[chizzler]

Meh......will see what happens now.

Oduya's always been an above average defensive player.

Not so much on the other end.

He's not all that good. Looked much better in Chicago which had to have a lot to do with the supporting cast.

He isn't... not sure how an aging pylon gets a raise.

 

[Ice Nine]

We have the term on the Oduya deal, do we have the value?

That'll give us a sense of what Franson/Bruins may be wrestling over.

 

[nickyb]

I think Franson would be a plus for us....there really isn't much else out there and we seriously need to upgrade the D.

It's below the tweet. AAV of $3.75M.

Calgary fans asking for a 2nd line LW

Would an Eriksson for Brodie swap work?

thanks, didn't see that.

Okay, so 3.75m for two years.

I bet Franson must be looking for 4-5m over three or four years. Also bet he will probably will sign for 4.5m for four years, or just under 5m for three.

There's no way one year of Eriksson gets you a young #3/#2 D signed relatively long term at a bargain price. Plus, Calgary fans seem to think they're better than everyone now that they're not cellar dwellars.

Not for Calgary

I'd give Franson 4x4

Sounds fair. Contract stability for Cody plus he's be a UFA at age 31 where he can than sign somewhere at an even better contract $ wise.
