I would give Franson more term as long as the cap hit was slightly lower than Widemans in now
I also look at making moves like this as the best way we go from a playoff team to cup contender. I would have no problem trading Wideman, Gio and Hudler as we now have Frolik, Hamilton and maybe Franson as their replacments. I also see us recovering way more than we gave up to get Hamilton and we get younger on all 3 guys and all 3 would have much much lower cap hits. All 3 would be signed long term and it would give us tons of space to resign Johnny, Monahan and Bennett when their contracts come up and probably be just as good as a team now with more potential in the near future than we do now and more cap flexibilty
If we can get Gio for less than 8 mil for 7 years or less then keep him and move out a guy like Russell as he probably will want a big raise too
I see Brad making these types of moves with moving out these guys in mind. I can't see the Flames going for Franson without someone being moved out as we have some good d prospects that could be pushing to make team now and in near future and no spots for these guys
