Friedman on 32TP discussing the new deal with Lafrenière: "Everyone is kind of in a position where they say, listen, we're going to try this under a new coach, see where it goes... if it's not good next summer, then I think you can trade him at a salary I believe teams can handle"
" because I just think if it's another year like this (a disappointing season for Lafrenière), they'll probably have to move on For me, it's a 2-year contract, but it's a one-year contract in New York and then we'll see."
