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

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Friedman is a depth defenseman at best. He has never played more than 26 games in any one season at the NHL level and managed to see action in 23 contests with the Canucks in 2023-24, picking up one assist. Friedman is on a one-way contract, but he is in tough to make the Canucks as their seventh defenseman as he will battle Noah Juulsen and Christian Wolanin for the spot.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Back in lineup?
Friedman appears to be on track to return to the lineup for Monday's game against San Jose after sitting as a healthy scratch against Seattle on Saturday, Ben Kuzma of The Vancouver Province reports.
ANALYSIS
If Friedman gets back into the lineup Monday, Noah Juulsen will likely be the odd man out versus the Sharks. Friedman's picked up one assist through 13 games while skating in a bottom-pairing role this season.
