Devron Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Nothing for nothing. Friedman might play a few more games than Rathbone would. I don’t expect any kind of impact for either squad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SV. Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Probably a lateral, nothing move for both sides, but it's a good bet for PIT and a nice bit of relief on the RH side for VAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Friedman scouting report: 5'11'' 185 lbs https://sportsforecaster.com/nhl/p/20805/Mark_Friedman Quote Has slowly climbed the ladder from the USHL to the NCAA ranks to the AHL and now the NHL, developing his game along the way. He is at his best when he keeps his game simple, making a quick first pass or skating the puck out of trouble. Is not much of a threat to put up big offensive numbers but has good mobility, which helps him compensate for his lack of size. https://www.pensburgh.com/2022/6/16/23168872/2021-22-season-in-review-mark-friedman-penguins-nhl-rangers-stanley-cup Quote What Friedman may lack in his advanced metrics or maybe even his overall game, he tries to make up for it by doing the things a fringe player needs to do to get noticed by the coach. Friedman can “go to the dirty areas,” he can play on his off side, and he can play with snarl or physicality, even with his smaller stature Friedman ha shown a knack to get in opponent’s faces and under their skin and has been able to draw his share of penalties.. Ty Glover: 6'3'' 200Lbs LW https://www.dkpittsburghsports.com/2023/07/10/wbs-penguins-development-camp-ty-glover-video-scouting-report-skating-tlh Quote Glover's coaches agreed, and Wilkes-Barre head coach J.D. Forrest said at development camp that Glover "might have been the most improved player throughout the season." Glover's looking to build on those strides he took last season and become a key player for Wilkes-Barre heading into this coming year. Glover, listed at 6 foot 3 and 201 pounds, is a power forward-type. His strengths are his skating, attention to detail in both ends of the ice, ability to win puck battles and play hard on the forecheck. The part of his game that he calls his "bread and butter" is his ability to be a net-front presence. He spent two years in that role on Western Michigan's power play, and picked up a fair amount of his goals from rebounds or tips in that position. Both Forrest and director of player development Tom Kostopoulos pointed to Glover's energy and personality as some of the first things they liked about his game in his rookie year. "He's got a ton of energy," Forrest said. "He creates some real chaos out there, he works really hard, goes to the net. He's really well-liked by his teammates." Kostopoulos liked that energy in the Penguins' three-on-three tournament to close development camp, too. "He was flying out there," Kostopoulos said of Glover. "Man, his speed was so noticeable, I'm sure you all saw it. In straight lines, he can fly. I think his energy and his attitude is contagious. It just spreads and the guys love him." Glover said that through conversations with the development staff, what the team really wants to see him work on this summer is his edge work in his skating. He has the blazing, straight-ahead speed, but could stand to get better at his east-west game. He also wants to keep working on his puck handling in tight areas, something that should help him produce more from the net-front. Glover didn't spend much time penalty-killing last season, but Kostopoulos thinks that Glover will have to become a "real staple" on Wilkes-Barre's penalty kill and really learn how to play that role in order to take the next step. The Penguins liked what they saw from Glover in his first year of pro hockey last year. They like the energy, speed, size and details he brings, and that kind of power forward role is the kind of player they hope he can develop into at the next level. "With him, it's just continuing to progress in his execution and raising the level of that and really kind of defining his game, and what he's doing to be successful," Forrest said. "It's sticking to that, not veering and trying to be a different type of player than what's going to help him be his best. He made a lot of steps, he might have been our most improved player throughout the season. He's got a lot of raw skills, you just need to kind of mold it a bit."

DownUndaCanuck Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Eh don't love the trade, Friedman is old and probably not going to play much whereas Jack still has a possible Forsling-factor down the line, so we traded a potential NHLer for a more known guy who can play like 20 games during his Canucks career. Pointless trade IMO, dare I say a lose-lose, didn't need to make this trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip The Mesh Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Jack Rathbone is a great kid, though he was given all the opportunity in the world here, and never really grew his game. Worked with three coaches. In this case, this trade is good for him and we got something to work with in both the AHL and possibly NHL... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone needs to be somewhere where he can roam with a defensive minded partner.

Blitz-Pix Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 8 minutes ago, CRAZY_4_NAZZY said: 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. Rutherford/Alvins rebuilding program. To be drafted they have to be Swedish. To be aquired in free agency or accuired Via trade they must be former Penguins. As long as it works, makes us harder to play against, competitive and gets us to the playoffs. I'm in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
