Gotta say that I like this trade for the Preds a lot more than I like it for the Leafs.

Sure, the Leafs flip two UFAs for a 1st, the pick is pretty much all Toronto was after, but the Preds are going to make a run and generally have good luck re-signing UFAs.

If Franson fits and the Preds can keep him I feel this would be a slam-dunk for them. He alone, signed to a decent contract on a team like Nashville is worth more than a very late first round pick.
