Delicious pancakes?
Waffles

Sarge said:Is it possible that The coaching change could have an effect on things here? I'm wondering if perhaps Carlyle's system might be better for Schenn in the long run and perhaps Franson might have been better off under Wilson. Regardless of what happens with Schultz (or Schenn for that matter), I'm curious to see just where exactly Franson fits in.
BlueWhiteBlood said:I think that if Justin Schultz ends up in Toronto, Franson is a definite goner. I think the best moves Burke can make this summer is somehow moving Komisarek and getting something in return for Franson, if indeed Schultz is coming here. I would think the thought would be to pair Gardner and Schultz together, seems like a no-brainer.
Gunnarsson/ Phaneuf
Liles/ Schenn
Gardner/ Schultz
Holzer
Corn Flake said:Gardiner and Phaneuf are really the only two I would say without a doubt are here in September. Everything else could change. If Burke gets Schultz that could be the piece to kick off the mass-overhaul. It means the end of Franson for sure. Holzer should be a lock for a 3rd pairing job next year which puts Komisarek on the outs and Schenn in competition.
No matter what, that defense needs at least one veteran guy who can calm things down, no matter how many good young guys we have. Assuming Komisarek isn't that guy (he isn't) then they have to replace him. Bryan Allen is still my choice.
So Burke could have Schenn, Franson, Komi and Liles as surplus to trade if he can get Schultz and sign one veteran. I'm going to assume Liles probably stays for now.
Gunarsson / Phaneuf
Gardiner / Veteran UFA
Liles/ Holzer
Schultz <--- I'm going to assume he starts with the Marlies, or steals a job at camp.

I like Gunnarsson, but if he gets us a first line centre, I'm sorry but "bye bye."

I'll go as far as say Gunnarsson is our most reliable defanceman, but yeah he's definitely not untouchable if we're talking about a top centre. The only problem would be that nobody else from last seasons group is a good fit to play with Phaneuf. Holzer maybe if he's promoted, but it would be quite the risk to go into next season with an unproven rookie on the top pairing and no real back-up plan available. It's kind of like the Kaberle situation, if we move him we'll just have to find somebody else to replace him and odds are that player will come with a much higher cap-hit.
