Francis on first looks has an NHL profile. He’s big, skates well, has good hands and has some push back. His hockey sense scares away a lot of scouts but he has some wow-caliber flashes.
Maybe our scouts just like players who`s surname can be used as a first nameManson, drew, francis .... glad we still draft those big dogs
I hadn't seen this posted anywhere in HFDucks..
Francis was suspended 2 games for this kneeing.
Seems to me like Francis expected Hughes to wrap around the net, not cut back towards to crease.Ouch. Would really like to see another camera angle of this, it's as if he's going for a big hit and just whiffs on it completely...
Jesus...Appears that Francis has been diagnosed with leukemia.

He only played 10 games this year. He got suspended for a few and then he tore his meniscus. By all accounts, he was looking pretty good. Surprisingly good skater for someone as big as he is.how was he projecting this year? That is heartbreaking..
