Is there anyone out there that still thinks his extension was an overpayment?
I'm pretty comfortable calling him a top pairing guy at this point

Its crazy that hes a +14 with all the injuries and whst not... 10 points in 19 games aint too shabby either.

Manson has now set a single high in points in a season tonight in his 41st game of the season.

I never thought it would happen and never thought Manson to be on a pace for 40 points either a the half way mark.
in years past Manson never really jumped up into the rush but is doing it a ton and has been very effective at it. he makes good passes and can handle the puck well enough to get points and he doesn't seem to get caught up too much. he is strong enough with the puck that if things don't look good he can dump it without turning it over and leading to a rush the other way.

Yes, I made a similar observation in the GDT. It's new to his game this year and he seems to handle it well. But even Hampus and Cam are doing more of it so it must be something the coaches have been pushing this year.

It now doesn't surprise me how well he's done offensively: His dad Dave Manson was good offensively until he became a shutdown type guy.
Dave Manson's 3rd NHL season stats: 18 goals, 36 assists, also had a 45 & 47 point seasons in the early 90s. His dad played with Selanne in 1993-94 Jets, that team also featured the dad of Matthew Tkachuk.

I had forgotten about that thing. Even I was in a ''wtf'' mode back then because Manson didn`t really seemed like anything back then. But since we all knew our mgmt is good at spotting talanted defensemen, I started to pay attention. They were right.
I hope Manson just polishes those defensive things a bit more

Manson is an obscene +18 this year. I know +/- isn't a good stat but the next highest on our team is tied between Getzlaf and Cogs at +9. Lindholm is only a +7. He's also tied with Montour for highest ppg from defensemen on our team, and is our only defenseman to play all 41 games. He's had his ups and downs this season but his ups have been excellent. What a gem.
He's such a beast. He plays the Ducks brand of hockey too which is awesome.
Loved the fan reaction after too... where they kept showing Manson and Giordano on the big screen to cheers and boos respectively.

Manson has yet to pick up a point this season in 4 games while playing 23:00 min a game. Have been seeing some people in the GDT's not so happy with him.
He’s made an awful lot of bad plays.
Just seems panicky at times.
Has thrown some good solid hits, but seems off

All of the top 4 D have been off their games at times in the early season. Not too worried about Manson.

Again? Ha, he`s an elite player for +/-
But he must be doing at least something good to do that

Manson normally goes through 1-2 really bad stretches a year like this. Fortunately, when he’s locked in, he looks dominant, so I tend to ignore them
