I like Manson a lot, has a pretty good contract (3 years left @ $ 4.1 million), his modified NTC kicks in soon so that may complicate things if we go 7-3-1 protection route.
Would have to convince him or Yandle to waive or offer up our 1st to take lesser valued roster player.
Manson is tied for 25th in league with hits, can block shots, drop the gloves and I'd take him over Martinez fairly easily. >>>>View attachment 184419
Fun fact: Crouse is 7th in the league with hits, to go along with his 8 goals 16 pts in 53 games, +3, has more takeaways than giveaways. Slow road to a decent 3rd liner?
iirc Manson was a beast defensively in the previous season and this season has been pure trash in Anaheim due to slow and aging forward group which can't score goals. I think Dale should pick up the phone asap considering Manson's NTC in place.
Crouse will be a decent NHLer even tho it's going to take a while and he probably will not be 1st line material.
