The Vancouver Canucks have traded defenseman Mark Friedman to the Nashville Predators for future considerations. The 29-year-old, who joined Vancouver as part of a four-player deal from the Pittsburgh Penguins in October 2023, has had a limited impact, playing just five games in the NHL this season alongside 20 games in the AHL with the Abbotsford Canucks.

Originally drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in the third round of the 2014 NHL Draft, Friedman has accumulated a total of 93 NHL games over his career, tallying 13 points with four goals and nine assists, alongside one goal in six playoff appearances. This move signifies the Canucks' intent to adjust their roster as they continue to look towards future strategies.
