Nikota - Tags: #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 10:50 It appears that [Cody Franson](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54426/cody-franson?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [will be able to re-join the Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/leafs-beat/cody-franson-signs-in-sweden-but-not-to-stay/article4580356/?cmpid=rss1&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) if and when the NHL owners decide they're through locking out their players. That's good news for the Leafs, since, in Franson's case, they hold the rights to a valuable asset, who could possibly even hold second pairing potential. As usual, James Mirtle has the straight goods: > A source with knowledge of how the situation would work indicated that because Franson currently does not have an NHL contract, he wasn’t required to sign a deal with a built in "out" once the lockout ended. > > Once he has come to terms with the Leafs, however, there’s an agreement that will allow him to leave Brynas. So that's good. To be honest, I have to say that I'm surprised at how many links there are this morning, given that there isn't any hockey being played right now. It's great.
