This is most likely to give Friedman a chance to play some games, gain a contract spot, and clear up the logjam in Abbotsford. Was bad enough down there before Mancini was added to the mix.

How good is this Future Considerations guy?

Canucks have two of them from this and the Sprong trade. Must be twins.

 

[StickShift]

He’s freed, man.

I got the text notification and I thought it was going to be Boeser. This is the next worst thing.

 

[Ernie]

Canucks are doing this player a solid. I'm sure they don't mind losing some salary as well.

Friedman belongs in the NHL, not 6th on a depth chart.

Also



Alvinn can't relax on the weekend before he does his Friday trade.

Start the purge

All the Petterssons and all the Future considerations... Do it Alvin!


This must be the big Friday trade we were wondering about for this weekend.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Awful.

Choosing anyone over Juulsen is idiotic.

 

[Bojack Horvatman]

Resign Future Considerations Cowards. 8x8

 

[StickShift]

Never forget those 4-5 games early last season when Friedman’s depth saved us from rolling Juulsen nightly.

If they didn’t sustain that hot start—the season likely doesn’t have the good vibes that they rolled on all season.

 

[TruGr1t]

Don't care, except Juulsen is still around. I expect a Juulsen extension.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Awful.

Choosing anyone over Juulsen is idiotic.

You need someone to want the player though

 

[PavelBure10]

Damn I liked Friedman. He sacrificed his well being on a daily basis in order to get his team a win. A true warrior.

Glad he is going to get a better opportunity to play though, he deserves it.

 

[Curm]

Good for them to give Friedman a chance elsewhere, I liked him better than Juulsen.

Not sure about this Future Considerationsson kid but not surprised they picked up another Swede.

 

[Josepho]

I do not want Juulsen to remain our 4RD.

Other than late-round draft picks, what other 'future considerations' actually change hands between teams? Agreeing to put in a waiver claim for a player a team wants to get rid of? Taking on a bad contract in the future?

Would be fascinating to read about all the NHL deals involving 'future considerations' and what this actually meant at the end of the day.

 

[credulous]

i like friedman a lot. more than forbort or juulsen. tocchet obviously doesn't though. nice to see him go somewhere he might get a shot to play

future considerations is almost always just a polite way of saying 'nothing' to spare players embarassment. there are rules in the cba about what can be included in trades and most historical uses (where there was any actual consideration) are no longer valid trades. you can't do stuff like a player to be named later anymore

Just an opaque space that I'm curious about, do they have to get resolved by some date? What happens if the teams can't agree to a good value, what's the recourse?

 

[krutovsdonut]

tochett seemed to like him on the left side so i see this move. nice gesture and hopefully he gets some games.

Yup. This is the Canucks giving a good soldier an opportunity to break in somewhere else.

All the best to Friedman. He deserves an NHL look somewhere.

it means that if the preds actually wanted friedman then within an undefined time period during the tenure of both current gms if we got into a jam we could ask the preds to give us a player we needed of friedman's stature who is not really in their plans and they'd probably do it.

or if it was the preds who did us a favour then we might do them a similar favour if asked.

but most likely neither team did the other a favour and it was more a favour to the player and is already forgotten as between the teams.

Looks to me like a numbers game..It’s getting pretty overcrowded over at the 3rd pairing D department.

With the recent emergence of EP25, something has got to give.

Best of luck to him. A useful bottom of the roster fearless player.
