We’ve just about hit the midpoint of this prospect season review series, which means it feels like it’s time for us to pause from talking about All Of The Forwards to cover our lone defenseman prospect still hanging out in the AHL. Let’s talk about Mark Friedman!
By all accounts, it was a very solid season for Friedman, there’s really no other way to put it. He came into his third season with the Phantoms already looking pretty close to NHL ready, but as a victim of the numbers game with the logjam of defensemen ahead of him on the depth chart, he was more or less slated to spend the whole of this season with the Phantoms.
