Re: Sabres in on cody franson
Yep just saw this. Supposedly Pysyk played the left side most of the year in Rochester and they think Risto can play either side. Cody had twice the points and twice the hits as Oduya last year but got a bit of a negative rap as he didn't fit too well in Nashville. He also plays major PP minutes (Oduya doesn't) and PK minutes. I imagine the same offer that we gave the JO would get it done - 3/$15m, though who knows - maybe he signs with PIT for the Stanley cup opp

Originally posted by ct bills fan View PostHis skating is average at best. Solid PP/PK guy, led all defenseman in hits last year. Good 2nd pairing guy. I suppose the skating is the reason he's still a free agent 2 weeks after it opened

Pat Malloy. But I just learned that. I thought Dawn was still there (figure skater). Go figure.

Re: Sabres in on cody franson
Then, finally, some movement: Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News reports that the Buffalo Sabres and Franson are in talks, and one assumes he likes what he’s hearing: Instead of another one-year stop-gap deal, Franson and the Sabres are talking about a two-year deal.
I'd imagine the sabres get him unless someone jumps in.

Re: Sabres in on cody franson
Defenseman Cody Franson will sign a two-year contract with the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday, TSN’s Bob McKenzie reported Wednesday. It is worth $6.6 million.
The 28-year-old unrestricted free agent had seven goals and 29 assists in 78 games last season with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Nashville Predators.
Nashville acquired Franson from Toronto with center Mike Santorelli on Feb. 15 in a trade for a first-round pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, forward Olli Jokinen and forward prospect Brendan Leipsic.
The Predators decided early in the offseason to not re-sign Franson, who they picked in the third round (No. 79) of the 2005 NHL Draft.
