Which is why you have him on a 3rd pairing.
Look, I understand all the hate Franson has been getting. I mean, there was a BRUTAL stretch where he was garunteed to have at least one goal against a game. But I don't think Franson was used right last season... He was clearly much better two years ago.
At the end of the day... a 6'5" Right Handed, Mobile (for his size), Physical, Offensive defensman are difficult to get in the NHL. I think we're a better team with Franson than without IF we use Franson properly.
This said... if he's asking for North of 3 million... then yes, of course we trade him!
I guess we have different definitions of mobile. I always used it on guys who were smooth skaters and had the ability to skate himself out of trouble. curious what yours is.
Based on his point totals, guaranteed he's looking for a deal north or 3 million.
