freester Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 He would be a great pickup. I am concerned about George's health 2 year 10 million should get him interested even though it's not the long term he is looking for Quote
Weave Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 He would be a great pickup. I am concerned about George's health 2 year 10 million should get him interested even though it's not the long term he is looking for George? Quote
ubkev Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 George? Josh Gorges. I'd be cool with this signing. I think he's better than the rabble of Donovan, Colaiacovo, Sanguinetti, And Ruhwedel. (had to look up the spelling of those names more than once and I'm still not sure if any of them are right.) Quote

ubkev Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 I know. we need another autocorrect. :P I know you know. I couldn't come up with anything witty. And I would like this thread to gain some traction so I don't have to read that cluster rape thread anymore! Hockey talk is more fun. I like fun. Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 George? He'll get his name back when he proved he can still skate, and not a moment sooner! Quote
Huckleberry Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Don't know about this, not a fan of franson, he looked to slow a skater to me. Quote

TrueBlueGED Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Craig Rivet 2.0 *3.0 Somebody forgot about Regehr :p Franson's never been fast, but I guess I'm just not convinced he's a corpse at 28 years old. Quote
thewookie1 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 For 2 years isn't bad, he'll be a corpse by 31 though speed wise Quote
SwampD Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I wouldn't mind getting him. Isn't he a pretty good power play guy? Quote
Randall Flagg Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 I wouldn't mind getting him. Isn't he a pretty good power play guy?5th in power play scoring for defensemen since 2010. Quote
SwampD Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 5th in power play scoring for defensemen since 2010.I love it when the stats match my brain (or is it when my brain matches the stats?). I'm in. I say get 'em. Quote
dudacek Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 He's a real NHL defenceman that costs nothing but money. We got money. Get 'er done. Quote
Brawndo Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Posted August 28, 2015 He will certainly help on the Power Play, but he will lose a lot of races to the puck. Here is his HERO Analytics I expect his TOI to improve with the Sabres Quote
Thorner Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 He's a real NHL defenceman that costs nothing but money. We got money. Get 'er done. Sums up my thoughts, as well. Can he play on the left? I'm assuming Pysyk is moving there. If they both can/do move to the left, maybe our D looks something like this? Pysyk - Bogosian Franson - Ristolainen Gorges - Donovan Weber Not sure if Franson and Ristolainen would match well together, but I like the look of that kind of offensive abliity making up the second pairing. I actually like the look of the 3rd pairing as well, with neither Gorges nor Donovan being asked to play above their level. (unless 3rd pairing is just that. I don't think so, though.) Quote
inkman Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Don't know about this, not a fan of franson, he looked to slow a skater to me. Feeling a little prickly, I don't know how this is acceptable Quote
Randall Flagg Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Feeling a little prickly, I don't know how this is acceptable That's Heimdall, English isn't his first language I don't think Quote
Johnny DangerFace Posted August 28, 2015 Report Posted August 28, 2015 Feeling a little prickly, I don't know how this is acceptable What is this man :doh: Quote
