Cody Franson is the worst player on the ice

[TitansVolsPreds615]

He brings nothing to the table. He is slow and irresponsible on defense and a non factor on offense.

Not sure if serious or...

Cool thread.

???? I though he's played quite well since he's been adjusting to the new system

It was a puzzling trade for sure. An uptempo team which features defensemen pinching gets a guy who has terrible footspeed and constantly misreads plays.

Wow, I was trying to figure out why all the Pred passes were finding Minnesota Wild sticks and skates, and you've delivered the answer... thanks! It's all Cody Franson's fault.

Complain about Franson's speed, positioning, lack of physicality, bad decision-making, .... but you can't complain about his passing - he might have been the only one out there making a decent advancing pass. Lotta' back and forth between the D, lotta' F back to the D, but advancing toward them - not so much.

As to the OPs assertion - he is our worst Dman, without question (well, except Volch), but we have an exceptional D that mostly could skate 2nd pair anywhere in the league. He is clearly not the weakest player we skate.

Ah cool thread. A loss = sky is falling. There should be a sticky.

Not worth it.
