Franson is a 10 goal/50 point defenseman. He may not be a #1 (on most teams) but he's certainly a good 2nd pairing guy now and could become a #2.
Not sure about Santorelli, though. Probably a third liner and not top-six.
He's never hit 10 goals and 50 points as far as I know. He's a terrible player in the defensive zone - really poor, but as a 30+ point guy he has upside on the PP.
It's possible he'll be better defensively in Nashville, but it's hard to imagine him being worse.
Santorelli is quite good. Not necessarily a top 6, but really solid 3rd liner. Nice depth move there.
That's my opinion anyway, it was a risk worth taking for Nashville I would imagine - even if it's just to prop up the PP in the playoffs.
Franson is on pace for 9 goals and 48 points. He's -7 on a -15 goal differential team (Ceci is -5 on an even team). I don't think he's nearly as bad as you say, defensively. Don't forget the team he's on.
