tas Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I'm not thrilled about filling in the bottom before the middle. I'm interpreting this as them resigning themselves to the fact that zadorov is gone. I hope I'm wrong, but I won't be holding my breath. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Important to have NHL depth. When Allvin mentioned McWard in his presser I got a little nervous. Benning flashbacks… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think signing our 8th dman is an indicator that we’re out on our 3rd. Im happy about this, good depth, he plays a gritty game and is pretty consistent, even when he doesn’t play for long stretches. This also helps insulate McWard for 1 more season.

This deal is literally league min and an easy one for them to rattle off quickly. 1 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A league minimum contract doesn’t rly impact the pecking order. Much more of a side job, that clearly got done easily and with almost no impact to the cap. much ado about nothing, when talking about Zadorov. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re taking that too literally. When you can sign a depth guy who comes at the same cost or cheaper as anyone you have on the farm you do it. Why wait and lose a quality depth piece?

Rip The Mesh Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced today that the club has agreed to terms with defenceman Mark Friedman on a one-year contract worth $775,000. “Mark’s addition to our group last year gave us some much needed depth and he is someone we can count on if plugged into our lineup,” said Allvin. “He is a team first player and is always ready to step in if called upon. We expect him to come into camp and compete hard for a regular spot this season.” Friedman, 28, appeared in his seventh NHL season, recording a point (0-1-1), 21 penalty minutes, and a career-high +4 plus-minus rating in 23 games. The right shot defenceman also played in four games for the Abbotsford Canucks in 2023.24, collecting four points (1-3-4), four penalty minutes, and a +5 plus-minus rating. In 88 career regular season NHL games split between Vancouver, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the 5’11”, 185-pound defenceman has collected 13 points (4-9-13) and 70 penalty minutes. Friedman has also appeared in six career playoff games with the Penguins, tallying one point (1-0-1) and a +3 plus/minus rating. The Toronto, Ontario native was originally drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the third round, 86th overall, in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Depth; I guess. Suppose he can play games for Abbotsford if they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was said in an interview may not always play out that way in real life. Getting a player like Friedman signed was probably as easy as passing gas. Might as well get it out of the way.

Maniwaki Canuck Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Solid move. He was good for us when in the lineup. Could see him and Juulsen alternating in the bottom pairing to free cap to spend higher up the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Mike Vanderhoek Posted June 19 Popular Post Share Posted June 19 May seem unimportant or not significant at all to fans but this is a player who was a part of the team all year, he just had an opportunity to enter into Free Agency and very likely find a better playing scenario for himself elsewhere but he chose to stay in Vancouver. This means something. It is a solid depth move. 1 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
