Friedman agreed to terms on a two-year contract with Swedish club Rogle BK on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman was headed for unrestricted free agency this offseason, having spent the 2024-25 campaign in the Predators and Canucks organizations. This shift overseas likely spells the end of the 29-year-old blueliner's NHL career, which would see him eventually retire having logged 93 NHL games and tallying four goals and nine helpers.

Friedman was brought in via trade by the Predators from the Canucks on Friday for future considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman will link up with AHL Milwaukee, as this move doesn't include a promotion to the NHL level for the veteran defenseman. With Nashville, the veteran blueliner could have an easier shot at securing NHL minutes, though he is far from a lock to jump ahead of Adam Wilsby or Justin Barron.

Friedman was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman has appeared in just five games for the Canucks this year, failing to log a point while posting a minus-4 rating. He'll likely remain in the AHL as a depth option.

Friedman was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman was sent to the AHL in mid-December, but he'll rejoin the NHL club just over a month after being demoted. Noah Juulsen (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day, so Friedman should help to provide additional depth among the team's defensemen.

Friedman was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman played in three consecutive contests from Dec. 10-14, but he was a healthy scratch against Colorado on Monday. The right-shot blueliner hasn't registered a point in the NHL this season.

Friedman was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After he was sent down Friday, Friedman will now join the Canucks a day later ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Bruins. Friedman played in Vancouver's last two games, logging six hits and three blocked shots.

Friedman was assigned to AHL Abbotsford on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman was recalled by the Canucks ahead of Thursday's game against the Panthers, and he logged two hits, a blocked shot and a plus-1 rating in 14:30 of ice time during the win. He'll head back to the minors a day later, but he's been shuffled between the NHL and AHL clubs recently, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back with the Canucks at some point.

Friedman was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman has appeared in just one game for the Canucks this season in which he generated four hits, two blocks and one shot while logging 14:49 of ice time. It will likely come down to Friedman or Erik Brannstrom for the final spot in the lineup heading into Thursday's matchup against Florida.

Friedman was reassigned to AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman has a goal and four points in eight appearances with Abbotsford in 2024-25. He made his NHL season debut Tuesday, recording a shot, four hits and two blocks in 14:49 of ice time.

Friedman was recalled from AHL Abbotsford on Thursday, according to the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Friedman has played in 88 regular-season games over parts of seven NHL seasons, scoring four times while adding nine assists. He has been in the AHL all season after being sent to the minors before the start of the NHL season. Friedman had a goal and three assists in eight AHL games before his recall. The Canucks were in need of an extra defenseman as Filip Hronek suffered an upper-body injury late in Wednesday's loss to Pittsburgh.
