Penis fans from the Trade board seem to think highly of Friedman:

"Friedman is a legit bottom pairing guy but plays physical so Mike Sullivan hates him."

I'm down!

Someone else said he should get a legit shot in the NHL as Philly and Pitts didn't do that.

His underlying numbers are quite good.

He did get a legit shot. He’s alright. Not much value on special teams but he’s a decent number 6 five on five who can be a pest. You’ll never really find yourself complaining about him if he’s on the bottom pair.

Rathbone will be a Group VI UFA unless he plays 52 games for Pittsburgh.

Shuffling of the AHL deck.

Good to get another playable RHD, wonder if he'll be called up over Juulsen?

Rathbone is a bust, but I think it's been rumoured he was unhappy and they're trying to give him a fresh start.

Plasek was a dead contract slot.

Glover appears to be a slightly less- dead contract slot for an extra year. I really don't know a thing about him other than he was an NCAA UFA signing in 2022.

Of note: Glover played on a line at Western Michigan with Max Sasson.
