Depending on how much of a raise Kadri gets there will not be very much cap space left to sign Franson.

Toronto is indeed in a strange position, I actually count 9 NHl d-men with:
Franson, Phaneuf, Gunnarsson, Liles, Brennan, Fraser, Gardiner, Holzer and Ranger, not to mention top prospect Rielly who might have hoped to crack the roster.
Surprised they didn't just buy out Liles instead of Grabovski, (and not signed Bozak) it would have solved some problems for them.
