Confirmed with Link: Brandon Manning signs one year contract extension (reported at $625,000)

Manning is a decent 7th D, should not be in the lineup.

I disagree, I think he's strictly AHL material on any contending NHL team.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

****ing ****** in the NHL and barely a player in the AHL.

 

[FlyersFanz]

Medvedev should have been playing instead of Manning, how many more chances are they gonna give Manning?? He sucks!

Every Coach needs to have his little protege. Just like Berube loved Rinaldo, better get used to Hakstol sticking with Manning because you gonna see him play alot this season.

 

[markzab]

Thanks for the bump and heart attack. (rolls eyes)

This isn't a contending team, so he fits in as far as taking up time goes. He won't be when this team is good again.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'd be fine he was was a 7th D only playing in case of injury.

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

There are still people claiming that he's young, a "rookie," needs time to develop, etc. Dude is older than Luke Schenn, and according to the braintrust fanbase, he's finished and useless.

Luke is actually older by 7 months but Manning is the same age as MDZ and Gudas (all born June 1990).

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Dude is a fringe NHLer at best. Only reason he is on the roster is because AMac can't be squeezed under the cap.

 

[Larry44]

That's what I meant. He's good enough for 10 minutes of spot duty for a short term injury, but not good enough to worry that his development will suffer sitting in the press box. Don't want him taking up ice on the Phantoms that Gost,Morin,Hagg,Marti,Alt need...

 

[FLYguy3911]

He's an offensive guy and you'd never know it. Doesn't really make any plays with the puck at the NHL level.

 

[Embiid]

Please resign Andreas Lilja instead of this cone....

Manning was a sieve, directly causing three high quality Vancouver scoring chances due to poor reads, physical limitations, or a combination of the two. He was blasted on a controlled zone entry by Bo Horvat, fell down on an odd-man rush later in the second period, and finally whiffed on a keep-in at the blue line which eventually led to a Jake Virtanen goal.

 

[Embiid]

A comedy of errors indeed....sigh

A comedy of errors indeed....sigh

He'll be promoted to the top pair and be tasked with shutting down McDavid. Watch.

Eh, I've seen better and I've seen worse. These type of stats still confuse the heck out of me.

Hahaha wait, what? First, you say you've seen better (and worse). And then you go on to say those stats confuse you? Just a wee bit contradictory, dontcha think?

 

[Appleyard]

Though it is a small sample those stats are actually pretty hard to do worse than:

Where those stats would have put him last season amongst NHL Dmen (500+ EV minutes, 206 Dmen played that much)

45% CF = 183/206
20% GF = 206/206
35.56% High % chances = 206/206

59.26% Ozone starts = 20/206

The CF% is tbf probably the best indicator of how he is playing... with the High % chances following after. GF% is pretty tough to draw much from without a sample of say ~30-50+ games... as goals are rare events and can balance out quickly.

No, you really haven't seen worse. Those are bad

Thanks for taking the time to break down the numbers. You're the man.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The two penalties weren't on him.


But they occurred after he utterly failed at a simple keep in at the blueline. He doesn't fail there, the penalties don't happen.
