Waived: Brandon Manning

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Why? It's not his fault Chiarelli is an idiot GM. Plus, if you want players to have another reason to avoid Edmonton, that's how you do it as fans.

He's a garbage player who's vastly overpaid, he can take some heat for being in the organization where he gets to be a poster boy for grotesque failure.

 

[CanuckGame39]

McDavid right now

 

[thadd]

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

In a good way?

What? What do you think “acceptable” means?

I agree that he sucks as a player. Once again, I think chirping players improves nothing and can actually play into the stereotype that Oilers fans can be toxic.

What? What do you think “acceptable” means?

The use of the word "acceptable" made the statement seem rather restrained. I just wanted to clarify.

Edmonton is such a circus, holy cow

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Hawks were ready to do this...and then pistol pete saved the day

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So... it appears the Oilers will bury yet another 2.25M in the minors for next season? Hmmm.

Just buy him out. Cap hit for 2 year buy-out is $916,667 and $666,667. They save $1,3m on the cap next year with a buy-out.

As bad as the team had gotten. The moves this year were bizarre.

I stand by chiarelli wanting to get fired to gun for the seattle job.

 

[These Are The Days]

Bad look but necessary. Everyone will forget about this eventually

Chiarelli's worst trade and that is not an easy feat

Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin say hello.

 

[OVO16]

Live look at McDavid

 

[justafan22]

Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin say hello.

Overall yes, but this was the worst for sheer process decision making.

Chiarelli's worst trade and that is not an easy feat

This isn't even close to the worst. Not by a mile.

Edmonton is currently trying to clean up Chia's mess and im not sure how you blame anyone but him for this, maybe Nicholson for not vetoing the trade.

 

[Jay haller]

did anyone else beside Chia think that was a good trade?
Well Bowman and Chia thought he had a good contract...

Not Bowman, Quenneville liked manning.

Not Bowman, Quenneville liked manning.

From my understanding, seems like Hitchcock liked him too and preferred Manning over Cagiulla.

 

[BritainStix]

Just so people are aware of how bad Dave Hakstol was at coaching, Manning regularly played top line minutes on the flyers for over 3 years!!

Not he can't make one of the worst defensive cores in the league.

f*** you beet farmer Dave.

 

[Satan]

Lmao

 

[SoCalFan]

From my understanding, seems like Hitchcock liked him too and preferred Manning over Cagiulla.

and the Preds wanted to sign him too. what did these teams/coaches see in him? I'm missing it, I guess.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

I hate the Oilers, but I've stopped laughing and just started shaking my head. What a complete shit show. I actually only feel sorry for their fans now. It's come to that.

 

[La Bamba]

Lol the gift of Chia keeps on giving

 

[Joey Moss]

Chiarelli should never have a job in hockey again.
