Confirmed with Link: Max Friberg Back to Sweden (Given QO)

[montreal]

I know most won't care since he's an RFA this summer and I didn't expect him to be back but I am bored before work so thought I would post it.

It makes sense, he's been in North America for a good while now and it doesn't look like we'll be giving him a look on the main team. He must feel like he's kinda hit a plateau over here, might as well be playing home.

Surprised about Friberg.

Surprised about Friberg.

It allows them to keep his rights. You never know, he might develop well in the SHL and might want to come back/have trade value.

Sounds like the Habs have given Friberg his QO, meaning they will own his rights till June 30th, 2021 I believe.

True. Not to mention he's going to Frolunda, a factory of development.

2020.

2020.

thanks

There might be a chance they'll convince him to come back at some point. I always thought he could be a good bottom 6 players in the NHL if he got the chance, he's a real hard worker.

Awesome time to revamp that AHL team. A little surprised by Matteau but CLEARLY not that big of a deal.

Oh and bye Mark. I remember that little 150lbs at his first development camp. Looked promising.

Didn't Julien just say Matteau would have a chance at his roster too?

Friberg returned to SHL because his development stalled under Lefevre. When will Bergy wake up and realize this is going on with prospects????

Thank you very much.

At 1:35 - "I just tough that my development had staggered a bit, last one and a half two years. I feel I needed a change. Hopefully I can come back here and get even better."

Seems that he could not make it in the organization.
He is going to be in Frolunda.

Did not play in all the opportunity he wanted to.
He learned more off ice as a captain.

I am not angry with the Habs for not giving me the chance but hopefully with Frolunda and maybe one day I will come back.
Frolunda has high standards and it is a good environment for improvement.

...

Hudon, DLR and McCarron are NHL ready. McCarron big strong centerman with lot of offensive.
Scherback needs to find consistency, go to work everyday, but has the most talent.

Maybe there is something wrong in our AHL team.

I was doubtful (let's say 50-50) because of the scapegoat rule.
Now, I am at 55-60%...

Follow the link, at 1:35.

He did not used stalled, he said staggered if I am not wrong.

He had a good year so it makes sense to give him his QO and retain his NHL rights in case he progresses more in the SHL. Thought he could be a guy you call up to fill in for injury, won't hurt you in his own end and works hard but never really saw him as a full time NHLer. But if they retained Nattinen's rights, makes sense to keep Friberg's as it can't hurt and cost nothing.
