Brawndo Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Franson heading back to TML 6x6? http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/2015/06/30/trade-rumours-toronto-maple-leafs-to-sign-cody-franson-but-not-the-oilers/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkMeadow Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Beauchemin[/size] 2x6.5mil would be my offer. Then if he still wants to play and is still useful we'd just give him lesser salary.[/size] I'd be okay with this. Initially thought 2x5 mil would be the ceiling, but term is much more important. The extra 1.5 mil per year isn't that much in the big scheme of things, so long as we don't have to commit for 3 years. Beauchemin was a #1 pairing on one of the best teams last year, and as a Dman, he should have a couple years tread left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Garth (blogger) thinks Beauchemin might be a viable target: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/GARTHS-CORNER/Beauchemin-A-Strong-UFA-Option-For-Sabres/6/69677 I think he'd be a nice fit since he has a little more offense to his game than some of the other names being thrown around.

SabresBillsFan Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 He should stay with the Ducks. Not interested him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Crotch Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) He should stay with the Ducks. Not interested him at all. The Ducks have already grabbed his replacement in Kevin Bieksa. Beauchemin is leaving the Ducks for sure. BTW - Beauchemin led the Ducks (best record in the West) in ice time last year.

thewookie1 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I read Ehrhoff never sold his house in Buffalo. If true I'd grab both him and Beauchemin if at all possible. 31 isn't terribly old. Problem is supposedly he wants to go to a contender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trettioåtta Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Of the UFA market, the two players with the worst wins-above-replacement fancy stats were Stafford and Beauchemin. Paul Martin came out very well in that category. I'll take Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X. Benedict Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 I have zero interest in revisiting old haunts I rarely say a player isn't trying, but there were games in Buffalo that Erhoff just simply wasn't trying. He's a talent, but fool me once..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewookie1 Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Yep. He ran for the bus awfully early during the tank. That is true, I'm not really all that excited nor appalled by him however. The need for him to put in #1 minutes like before would be short lived, but his upside is damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger 2m2 minutes ago Expect the Ducks and Kevin Bieksa to get a 2 yr extension done today. Aav could be less than what it is now ($4.5). Around $ 4 mil. #TSN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 OK, so now that Oduya has taken his talents to Dallas, where does that leave us? Risto-Bogo Gorges-Pysyk Weber-?? Possibilities for #6 & #7: Coliacovo (apparent front-runner) McCabe (probably not yet ready for prime time) Sanguinetti Donovan Eeeeeeeessssshhhh. I know a bunch of us (including me) are hoping for a pre-training camp gift from heaven like the Islanders got last year, but that seems like a pretty long shot to me. UFAs still available: Ehrhoff -- I think GMTM is NFW on this one. Visnovsky -- he's turning 39 but played top-4 minutes for the Islanders last year. Zidlicky -- he's 38 but played over 21 min per game last year Gonchar -- he's 41 and doesn't seem like a GMTM guy. Franson -- turning 28 and has good size but also the stink of the Leafs on him. I suppose I'd be satisfied with Visnovsky, Zidlicky or Franson -- or at least more satisfied with one of those guys than with no addition, which I don't think can be a real option.

I suppose I'd be satisfied with Visnovsky, Zidlicky or Franson -- or at least more satisfied with one of those guys than with no addition, which I don't think can be a real option. I think I want Franson. I've been thinking about him since I heard he was still available after the first days of free agency. He's young, which is good. I don't think he's ever going to be a top line forward again, but he's fine outside of that. Give him a two year contract, if he works out, great, if not he's deadline trade bait, and hopefully by then McCabe and possibley another prospect (Florentino? Ruhwedal? Next years draft pick?) are up here full time-ish. Man, all of a sudden our D-corps is looking pretty sparse in the prospect area. I'm fine with losing Zads, but next years first round draft pick, assuming we're not picking 1 overall, pretty much needs to be a D-man.

dudacek Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Ehrhoff is the perfect fit, but it ain't happening. I'd take Franson as long as his cap hit isn't an issue four years from now. After that, I'm inclined to to sign a cheap Mess-type for a filler, then be patient and see what shakes loose. I'd like to make the playoffs this year, but its not the ultimate goal.

Yeeeeesh... EDIT: Oh, That's career. He was -23 last year. I'm not sure how much water this stat holds. Worst guy in the league in 2014 was PK Subban with -83 last year alone. Next was Doughty with -68, and then Brent Burns with -55. Those are 3 pretty good d-men. http://www.sportingcharts.com/nhl/stats/player-turnover-plus-minus/2014/ BTW: Best turnover ratio in the league? ROR, with a +72.

darksabre Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I still love the idea of Brian Campbell for a homecoming... Mainly for sentimental value since he's on the decline. On the last year of his contract. That's actually a good idea for both teams. It allows Florida to get something for him before he becomes a free agent and gives us a placeholder for a year.
