Do you wonder if Franzen’s past injuries and games missed will be any kind of an issue in contact talks? Just a thought but someone mentioned trading Kronwall, say we did and Signed Hossa instead of Franzen and kept Lebda. Maybe Ericsson could fill the void of Kronwall on D and we have about 6.5 mil a season to give Hossa. Which power forward do you want? Hossa a proven player who scores and racks up the assists and stays relatively healthy or Franzen , less proven, who scores primarily and has some past injury issues with knee and concussions?? I know Franzen is a home grown player in the Wings system and thats a plus. It’s a fair question. maybe samuelsson stays instead of Abdelkar too?
