It’s been a bit of surprise that no one has signed the free agent defenseman this summer, and as soon as the NHL went into hibernation many folks had his name circled for the Hawks to target.
There were rumors that it was between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Edmonton OIlers in the final two spots to sign Franson.
