Surprising and very questionable decision by Ron Hextall to place a defender on the waivers

We have just learned that the Pittsburgh Penguins have announced placing defenseman Mark Friedman on waivers.

This decision is highly questionable and has caused a lot of buzz, especially since there is only one game left in the Penguins' season.

The 28-year-old defenseman has played 23 games this season in the NHL, collecting three points and 15 penalty minutes.
