I don’t know much about rathbone or plasek, is this a good trade?
In Dubas we trust.
Well fuck, that sucks.
I think Friedman was the last Hextall guy?

The purpose of this trade seems to be the AHL veteran limit, which hadn’t been a concern to WBS during the Hextall years because WBS barely had any AHL caliber players much less NHL veterans, but now with Dubas stocking the depth WBS was actually in a situation where they had to scratch 3 veterans (> 260 career games) per night because they were over the limit. So swapping Friedman for a guy below that threshold gives them more lineup flexibility, and Friedman was pretty expendable now anyway with the additions of Shea and Ludvig.
Dubas still cookin.
Oh Sweet, just what we needed – another left handed defensemen.
​
Are we literally trying to collect them all? Ya know what else is nice to have guys – A RIGHT HANDED DEFENSEMEN. Just so Kyle Knows, those do exist. It’s not just Chad or playing a lefty.
Awe fuck…I really like Friedman.
Aw, I’ll miss Friedman, he always seemed like such a weird little gremlin. I always think of Taylor Haase asking the team who they wouldn’t let drive their car and the near-universal answer was Friedman, who wasn’t even called up at the time lmao.
Friedman is the first player acquired by Hextall, the cleansing continues
I think I kind of liked Friedman tho
As a visiting Canucks fan, this season Rutherford has acquired former Pens Blueger, Lafferty, DeSmith, Cole, and now Friedman. Within the span of one offseason, he’s replaced about a quarter of our main roster with former pens.
I anticipate this is not going to be the last Van/Pit trade this year
What kinda dman is Rathbone
Plasek is an absolute mystery as he’s had two major injuries over the past two years, so I hope y’all can make something with this box of scraps! – Abby Canucks STH
All my bad players for all your bad players.
I’m sad about Friedman 🙁 I like him
