2015-2016 Defense

What do you guys see as Gostisbehere's potential? I remember watching him a couple of years ago when Union won the NCAA Championship and he was a stud. Just wasn't sure how that would translate to the NHL game.

He is a stud. You'd be hard pressed to find a young defenseman that matches his offensive skills. The kid is electric. It's a shame he got hurt, because he started out the year on fire and I'm pretty sure he would have tore through the AHL. Hopefully just a small bump in the road.

He has elite NHL offensive tools for a D man. The rest of his game is the question to varying degrees.

Very very little chance Manning makes the big club next year. IMO, he is not an NHL dman. I know he is on a 1 way contract, but that doesn't matter. He can rack up the $ in Lehigh.

Did you even watch manning play last season?
