Waived: Brandon Manning

[pit]

Terrible move. Manning is better than Gravel, Benning, and Petro yet he is waived. I bet McDavid was behind this.

Manning had actually been fairly solid the past few games he had played, but I guess that doesn’t mean anything these days.

Good luck Mandog. You won’t find a harder working guy out there who gave his all every shift.

Unfortunately Bakersfield does not have their own team forum, but you can at least hang out here (The AHL) if no one claims him.

so pay $1.6 million, plus the rest of manning's salary this year, plus take a $1m cap hit for two years just to get rid of drake caggiula?

Well, no one said it was a good trade. It made little sense. Classic Chia.

 

[Roof Daddy]

Save us, Jimbo.

Good god no.

Please, please, please.

With Chia out of a job, somebody has to assume dumbest GM in the league status.

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

A reporter should ask him if he actually knows how dumb he really is.

 

[NyIander]

Slowly backtracking Chiarelli's terrible mistakes.

 

[krutovsdonut]

the canucks manning talk was back when canucks were trying to move gagner.

so maybe canucks will trade him for spooner.

Drake Caggiuala is still tied for 7th in Goals scored for the Oilers.

What’s the over/under that Caggiuala finishing the year in the Oilers top ten in goals scored?

That should go to Dorian more than anyone.

Is this a joke? Gravel and Benning are miles better

 

[Funk21]

Wrong, you blame:

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.

Uh...ok...

 

[PG Canuck]

Who knew that Desperate Chia was even worse than Regular Chia?

I am not a fan of Manning the person so I hope he gets beaked.

Ok Brandon, accept it and move on. Working hard every shift isn’t a skill trait.

 

[Kokomo]

Cap space all seen it coming

 

[Funk21]

Uh...ok...

I even blame McJesus, He could easily vetoed the trade or asked is this guy in our plans long term? No plus the fact he intentionally hurt me I want no part of him.

Sure PC made the call but considering how badly he had messed up the team to this point do you really believe he had full autonomy?

 

[Starat327]

I still can't believe that the Oilers gave us a competent player for Manning. I would've accepted them punching me in the neck rather than the face for accepting him.

To be fair, we couldnt believe youd sign him for 2 years at 2 and a quarter, either.

Neither could we.

 

[BudBundy]

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

Thats not even top 3 worst.

Hey, @Tripod wanted to make sure you saw this. Not that you didnt see it coming, or anything.

The MacDavid effect....

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that Drake scored less than 5 goals this season when not playing with McD or Kane.

Don't get me wrong, I would rather have him than Manning but this season Drake only put up decent numbers when playing on the top line. His production on the top line is too low for a first liner, and his production away of the top line is pretty bad.

Yeah he's definitely no world beater but he's a decent, young bottom 6 winger and trading him for Manning when the Oilers already had guys like Petrovic, Gravel and Benning made absolutely zero sense.

 

[Funk21]

I do.
