A few thoughts here:

 

1) How many thoughts does Mark Friedman have, 32?

 

2) Glad Jack gets a new start elsewhere, good kid and closer to home now too.

 

3) We get some more bite on the blueline.

 

4) Allvin and Rutherford knows that we can acquire players that are not Penguins right?

 

5) Lastly, we are all Vancouver Penguins.

 

Gillis - Canucks and Panthers affiliation

Benning - Canucks and Bruins + Medicine Hat Tigers

Allvin - Canucks and Penguins.

More like Goldstar Penguitos

Depth for depth

 

Friedman gives VAN an extra D that can step in when injuries occur, and they will. Rathbone wasn't going to step into anything good here.

 

Or does Friedman join the team right away?

 

Hughes - Hronek

Cole - Myers

Soucy - Friedman

Hirose - Juulsen

Sounds a lot like Biega and should be perfect as a 7/8.  Rathbone is likely a career AHLer with the way he plays in his own zone.

Happy for Rathbone... he was done here in Vancouver. Just doesn't fit, what they want from a third pairing D. 
Doesn't defend well enough. 
Believe he's FA next summer, so we were likely always going to see him move along. 
 

Nothing to get too excited about. If Friedman ends up even just in the conversation for a third pairing role, its a huge win. 
 

The forward has got some size... time will tell...

 

Friedman probably falls directly under Juulsen.  We can't move d-men right now without sending them through waivers (exception: Hirose).  Despite his size, Friedman's got more NHL fight experience than Juulsen (3 - 0).  Both super physical, but different styles.
