Icon24 Chicago puts Cody Franson on waivers. UPD: Clears.

Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Cody Franson (CHI) is on waivers.

UFA after this season and a $1 mil cap hit. Hard to imagine someone won't be interested or has he really fallen off?

7 points in 23 games, only -1

Probably not performance related, maybe he wants to play for Canada?

It'll be interesting to see if anyone claims Franson. He's been effective on the power play and playing in an offensive role (64.63 offensive zone starting percentage). He leads the Blackhawks with 7.85 Corsi relative.

It isn't termination waivers, so I don't see how that will help him play in the Olympics.

Edmonton should pick him up like a 1st overall.

Example of a guy with good Advanced stats that just isn't of interest to teams. Got beat out by Jordan Oesterle basically.

He likely has good possession numbers but constantly coughs up the puck in dangerous areas.

hmm that's weird. I thought i recall some comments about Franson being a pretty solid deal for the hawks on my twitter feed last week.

I'd be shocked if he didn't get picked up. Minimal salary, no contract next season, and the guy can apparently still provide value on the ice.

How is Arizona's defense looking? Hjalmarsson still hurt?

Of the teams that have first rights to claim, I'd imagine only the Oilers are really looking to make a big jump in the standings this year. Haven't the rest thrown in the towel, and looking at this year as a rebuilding year?

Ottawa has to take him IMO.

They need help on the back end, still think they can make a push, and could use him.

Do the Canucks still have some injured D?

I could see them putting in a claim and ruining the Oilers master plan for rising to the top!

I think the Oilers wanted him this offseason IIRC.


Didn’t he turn down good money and term from Toronto 3 years ago?

Claiming a player off waivers does not put you at the bottom of the list.
