Wishful thinking.
The last time Manning was up with the Flyers, his positioning was odd and rarely got to play more than 13 - 14 minutes a night.
Bourdon was a positionally sound 20min defenseman when healthy.
I guess you missed the part where I said probably not and I was hoping for the best.
Also MAB played all of 45 games in the NHL where he avg'd 16min/g so I don't see how you can say he was a 20 min player when healthy, based on what the like two games he did that. Furthermore MAB was hardly consistent even before all the injuries. But just based on your comments I'll assume you are one of the MAB fans who thought he was more then he was so I'll just stop here.
Again I'm not saying Manning will be good cause he never has been more then OK in his pro career I'm just saying he should be given more then just 10 games over 2 yrs, earlier in his career to show what he can do at the next level.
