Grizzlies News and Transactions: Prokop, Friesen traded, Kinasewich named All-Stars Alternate

Defenseman Dustin Friesen was traded to Idaho earlier this week in exchange for defensemen Matt Sorteberg and Kyle Radke.

While none of the players dressed for the game on Wednesday, Sorteberg and Radke should be dressed for the game tonight against Stockton.

We're sad to see Friesen go. He was solid and could take a hit like nobody's business. Luck, Friesen!

Defensemen Patrick Prokop was traded to Cincinnati yesterday in exchange for future considerations. Utah picked up Prokop in a trade to Bakersfield for Evan Stoflet earlier this season.
