LOL.
I guess you guys forget all the talk about Franzen the beast and Franzenstein, and Franzen being as valuable as Zetterberg and Datsyuk.
Who's talk was that? Not the Wings front office, and not anyone I agreed with, at least on that last bit about value. So not really relevant to me.
So based on 13 months, the Wings paid Franzen an 11 year contract to be a 30 goal scorer.
Largely based on 13 months, yeah. That 13 months was a large part of their expectations going forward. But they didn't expect him to keep that pace, otherwise they would have paid him more.
About what he's doing now?
Not a chance.
Production-wise, yes. Though I'm sure they haven't been overly happy about his effort levels on a lot of nights.
Since he signed that contract, here are his regular season numbers, averaged to 82 games: 29 goals, 30 assists. Playoffs (again, averaged to 82 games): 30 goals, 43 assists.
So yeah, about what he's doing now.
