It’s definitely closer to a few, than one, on a nightly basis. He is just a really, really risky player. He is an adequate #6 on this team, but on a decent team he should be in the AHL, along with Manning.
I feel like Manning is a little less riskier in his own zone, and I think Murphy would be able to play his game more if he was with Manning than if he was with Gus. That was really my only thought process behind those pairings.
Gus was a bad signing, Rutta was a bad signing, and Manning was a bad signing. We could do as good or better for 1/3 of the price of those 3 Dmen.
I think Davidson should get a crack here in the next game or two over either one of those 3.
