He sucks, not good depth, you don’t want him, let him clear, thank you.

Elliotte's not mad, just disappointed.

 

[SEALBound]

I'd take Friedman back in Pittsburgh.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Great depth guy. Very, very good passer and in a league of his own when it comes to taking pucks in the mouth lmao. Hope he doesn't get picked up.

 

[LemonSauceD]

He sucks ass (please don’t claim him)

 

[Siludin]

Only claim him if you have a spot open on your 1PP

 

[Russian_fanatic]

As a canucks fan he sucks the most in the entire league.... barely AHL worthy...

Don't claim him plz

 

[EpochLink]

He ass dawg

All jokes aside Friedman is a NHL player IMO.

If he was a little bit bigger, he would be a legit bottom pairing defenseman.

 

[DesertPenguin]

I'd claim him and waive Shea. I'd be OK with that.

 

[66-30-33]

I liked him when he was a Penguin.

Fingers crossed Friedman clears. He's a 7th d-man but not an awful one.

hes pretty scrappy might as well change his position to forward.

 

[Canucks LB]

He had a great camp, but we’re trying to accumulate cap space, and it’s a 3 million difference at the trade deadline

 

[jackjohnson]

Friedman is reliable as a 7th dman.

Yeah. It'd be nice to keep Friedman around, as he's a solid enough veteran 7/8 who seems to know his role. Also knows the system which is a plus.

But he's not quite good enough, or big enough to play his game at a dependable "everyday" bottom-pairing level over time. More limited to filling that role in short stints. But that's fine in a #7/8D. That's pretty much the gig.

Wouldn't cry over him being claimed as a journeyman depth D...but i'd certainly prefer to have him clear.
