The stalemate is over. The Toronto Maple Leafs agreed to a one-year $2-million deal with defenseman Cody Franson, according to TSN's Darren Dreger on Thursday.
Confirming Cody Franson has agreed to a 1 yr, $2 mil dollar deal with the Leafs. Took far less, but got the 1 yr term he fought for.

Toronto much preferred a 2 yr deal for Franson to avoid arb next yr, but told Franson camp yesterday they would do 1 yr at $2 mil or less.
