Is Brandon Manning the worst player in the NHL?

[Laveuglette]

Eh, he is what he is. A guy you call up when you have injuries. What did you expect from him? Bobby Orr?

Manning - Petrovic is the best tank pairing in the league.

So PC is trying to get himself fired? Ahhhh now it all makes sense...

Gudbranson is worse AINEC

 

[authentic]

No. I think he is the best player in the NHL.

Edmonton's got two of them now. Lucky.

Lucic is not a top 6 forward in the AHL let alone the NHL.

What a ridiculous post.

Surprised Rinaldo hasn't been mentioned yet.

Nice try at trolling Oilers fans though.

Trolling Oiler fans? I’m literally an Oiler mod. Our fanbase hates the player and hated the trade

Lucic is not a top 6 forward in the AHL let alone the NHL.

Well for one, he’d easily be a “top 6” caliber player in the AHL, and it’s a moot point anyways because I didn’t say he’s a top 6 caliber NHL player still. You’re arguing a point that nobody made. I said he’s one of the 6 best forwards on the Oilers. If he’s not even close to the worst on his team, how is he the worst in the league?

Eh, he is what he is. A guy you call up when you have injuries. What did you expect from him? Bobby Orr?

I expected him to be the worst player in the league, and he seems to be.

 

[wetcoast]

there are quite a few worse players

This is my thought as well but he is easily replaceable.

Manning has some catching up to do.

 

[Bobby Terrance]

He's not good, that's for sure.

Absolute worst is really difficult to define; moreso than absolute best for sure. Does playing 1 game and totally flaming out count as worst? Does slotting in as a backup G in an emergency and getting shelled 4 goals in 8 shots, never to see NHL action again count as worst? Finding truly the worst player in the NHL is an interesting but nevertheless frivolous exercise. If the stipulation is the player needs to be an NHL regular; i.e. scratched often but on the roster, a quick glance at the stats page tells me Tom Pyatt (L, 37 GP, 2 assists, -16) is quite up there in horrible.
