Default Cody Franson on a plane to Calgary

Who knows if this has anything to do with him signing in Calgary, he might just be flying to Calgary.

If he is signing here, someone would have to get traded, no?

Could be a connecting flight to Kelowna or something like that. (Notnsure if he lives there but it sounds like a lot of NHLers live there in the offseason)

blueline depth next season would be sick. Assuming Smid is done:

LD: Giordano, Brodie, Russell, Wotherspoon, Culkin, Kulak
RD: Hamilton, Wideman, Franson, Engelland, Morrison, Nakladal

good god. Not that I think it's going to happen, but it'd be insane.

I saw this tweet make the rounds yesterday and someone pointed out that his brother plays for the UofC hockey team. Most likely just visiting his brother during the summer.

As Oling_Roachinen pointed out in the trade/speculation rumor thread, there are a lot of GMs in Calgary right now for the Hockey Canada summer showcase.

Didn't realize this had already been discussed in that thread (mostly because I never go into it).

Suppose this one can be locked up.

I for one appreciate not having to wade massive, poorly directed super-threads in order to find anything out.

The signal-to-noise ratio on them is usually particularly bad.

This is August and there's free legitimate reasons to start a thread, why not let this one stay?

Oh I prefer non-mega threads, just didn't want this one to be redundant that's all.

It's all good, we can just use this as the all purpose Cody Franson thread, so that others don't get clogged up and we can talk about something else in the Trade Rumors/Speculations thread for a change

If he is coming on a short one year deal, good I guess. Would rather have Erhoff in that situation though

What? Erhoff is a shell of his former self and is 33 years old. Franson is as good right now, if not better, and still has upside.
