Neither Phaneuf nor Franson are mobile or agile.
Other teams would be happy with that.
Actually I made a similar post to yours earlier but if they institute that 5 man offense/defense and the forwards do a good job of back checking, they may try it again, Franson and Phanuef were paired on the PP a lot last year.
Gardiner needs a stay at home partner and Polak is jut that and that pairing could work very well.
Rielly and Robidas is obvious as student and master scenario and they could also play some big games together.
I think they may start out at least trying these pairings but again it will all come down to what happens in Preseason and anything can happen.
