Ian Cole - Logging heavy minutes Cole is averaging 22:45 of ice time through his first three games with Vancouver.
Impact Cole has never averaged more than 20 minutes a night across an entire season. While it's still early, it's very possible that he sets a career high in this regard due to the Canucks lack of depth on the blue line. Cole isn't typically a great fantasy producer, but the extra ice time could help expand last year's totals of 17 points, 117 hits, and 123 blocks.

Karel Plasek - Waived unconditionally Plasek has been placed on unconditional waivers by the Penguins on Wednesday in order to terminate his contract, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Plasek's tenure with the organization didn't last long as he was just acquired via trade from Vancouver on Tuesday. The 23-year-old winger spent all of last season playing in his native Czech Republic for Olomouc HC and likely doesn't want to make the jump to North America. This almost certainly closes the door on Plasek ever playing in the NHL.

Mark Friedman - Recalled from minors Friedman was elevated from AHL Abbotsford on Wednesday.
Impact Friedman's promotion shouldn't come as a huge surprise after the team went out and acquired from the Penguins on Tuesday considering he has more NHL experience than Akito Hirose, who was sent down in a corresponding move. Even with the promotion, Friedman is far from a lock to break into the lineup but should be capable of challenging Noah Juulsen for a spot.
