1 yr @ $4.0 million I would take Franson.
Have him battle it out between 2nd and 3rd pairing with Wideman. And if by New Years we see rookies (Wotherspoon, Morrison, Hiceky...) pushing for a spot ship him out for assets.
All he does is improve on Engelland and there's no need getting rid of Wideman for that.
