On another note, someone told me that Franson was eligible for arbitration this year. He turned it down because he thought he could get a good deal with Toronto. Is this true? If so, he must be kicking himself.

They do have a lot of UFA's. But some won't be kept. Even re-signing Kessel/Phaneuf won't be too much. The cap is going up, and Tucker/Armstrong's cap hits are coming off.
They're in a cap crunch because for once the cap went down.
And yes, Franson could have filed for arbitration. 2 million is a steal for him.
