WHL rocks Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Depth guy at league minimum. A player the coaches know well . Nothing to complain about. Good depth guy + cheap price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmaster Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Good deal for a 7/8 defender who can kill penalties and be insurance for injuries. Need more league min contracts to help with the Cap when we go after the big fish like Guentzel and hopefully big Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWMc1 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 43 minutes ago, tas said: my impression has nothing to do with the money given out and entirely to do with moving down the priority list. I recognize that friedman's contract has no bearing on their ability to afford zadorov. Therefore it does not affect the priority list. Filling out the bottom slots with low salary players is needed to offset the top salaries. I think the priority thing was more about fitting the higher salary guys in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 2 hours ago, Honkin Hronek said: We’re cooking! NOW, we can plan the parade.... Actually, I do like this signing for depth, he was a serviceable fill in last year when we needed it. If he can'[t make the team out of camp, he doesn't cost us anything if he winds up in Abbotsford.

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. Umm, it’s just a depth signing and is no brainer. Has no impact on Zads or anyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locking up a serviceable, depth, right side dman at league minimum lets the club know there is money hopefully left for the bigger ticket players. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has zero bearing on Zadorov hell Castonguay probably did this start to finish with PA involvement being nothing more than Emilie telling him he's signed.

Signing Friedman doesn't mean Zadorov can't be signed. If Zadorov was already signed we would still need to fill out our roster with players on affordable deals. Hell, alot of our best prospects in the AHL have a higher AAV than what Friedman just signed for. He MIGHT have been able to sign for a little more somewhere else in FA. At least we know Friedman fits in well here and can play Tocchets system when called upon. He also plays the right side as opposed to Zads left side. Seems like Friedman is value added depth and potentially a place holder for Willander next season. I thought it was a tidy piece of business by the Canucks.

The fact the entire cap hit could be buried in the minors means this has NOTHING to do with Zadorov. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. As others have stated, the two have little to do with each. Depth D is needed either way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
