In the vein of Joe Cannata, another depth guy looking for opportunities elsewhere. Would've liked to see Friesen back with the Comets as he's been a consistent 3C (forced into a 2C role most nights) and he could help hold the bottom six together this season, with all the fringe prospects that are gonna be in the lineup. At least he got his one NHL game in last season.

asset mismanagement. JB is stupid for not trading him for a low pick

Can't trade what you're not offered.

 

Michael Chaput looks like a free upgrade anyway (who was also not traded for a low pick).

 

Probably was more valuable at the time to have Friesen for a Utica playoff run..as they seemed poised to do well (but of course didn't).

Hahah. I was hoping so--but that's a serious comment on these boards fairly often. 

What? CDC taking things too seriously? I never thought that I'd see the day.

Bleakley looks interesting to me. Low risk medium reward kinda pick up. 

Blues picked him in the 5th Rd I think this year. Rumour has it, Benning liked him a lot and would have drafted him if he was there when the Canucks picked
