He was a a decent 4-5 guy before the concussion. Then he came back from it and was a bleh bottom pairing guy. He has regressed even further this year. Sucks.

i agree on bouncing back in the A but if you think hes a 3rd at the deadline potential hes not gunna clear waivers... any team with space would take him and play him or wait 2 months of junk play and turn him for your 3rd. IMO he didnt have the value but again i was high on this guy at one point too.

Yeah that wouldn't have been bad but didn't they get longer term? We couldn't do that with our kids coming and Murphy/Forsling/Keith all still here.
What did Riley Nash sign for?

Thank you Elon!
well maybe not a 3rd, but team needs change in a few months...injuries happen and teams that right now aren't looking to add might be come the deadline because they are now in the hunt and want some more depth. Rutta has so little value right now, but at the deadline if the guy can play consistent hockey over the next month or so and get called back up, he certainly would have some interest - what that value is, would be beyond me...but he is on a 1 year deal only, there will be a few teams that look at him as a free lotto ticket like we have with many of the guys we tried to reclamate..

I think they make the jump quickly so that impacts it for me plus I think Murphy/Forsling are keepers.
Nash has not been great but I am not using hindsight here (it would be cheating).
I wish Rutta luck. That said, he was terrible this year. He had hands of stone. It was time for the Hawks to move on.
Hopefully, Manning and Kunitz are next.

I still like him, but whenever I saw him falling to the ice trying to block a pass around the net, I knew the opposition would score shortly thereafter, 95% of the time.
The times I watched Rutta, the puck would be ricochet off his stick. He couldn't clear the puck if his life depended on it. Regardless, he stunk this year.

Manning does suck but I think he’s been a little better lately. Playing with Seabrook would make anyone look just awful. I mean Manning is awful but Seabrook I think is worse at this point

Exactly. Manning has been better the past several games while Seabrook has looked like he’s ready for the ECHL. Keep the Dog around!!
When this team is fully healthy, there's no room for Manning, either.... He's gotta be next to be waived. This is why they were aggressively shopping Manning and Rutta. They don't plan on keeping them on the roster.
Who cares. It's only $2.2M. Bury the mistake, reclaim the mil in cap space, and be done with it. All that contract means is whoever replaces Manning has a cap hit of $1.9-2M. Not the end of the world. He doesn't belong in the NHL.
The bigger problem is the guy making $7M that doesn't belong in the NHL.

Manning is one half of arguably the worst defensive pair in the league. He deserved to go way more than Rutta, but Bowman had to sign Manning for multiple years for some damn reason so we're all stuck with #23's stupid ass on the roster and Boxcar in our comments.

Because I want Rockford to win
That team is gutted right now. Transitional year for Rockford. All of the Hawks' talent, for the most part, is in the NHL, juniors, or the NCAA. Manning isn't going to make a bit of difference.
