Im glad for Manning and feel like he deserves whatever he got.

Solid 6 or 7 dman, always willing to defend team, plays hard.

Yup. Nice deal for him. Hockey player through and through

I agree. There doesn't seem to be anything that indicates he had any intention of staying.

Maybe that's why they went with new management. They lost him for nothing.

I think it's obvious based on your response here who has their panties in a bunch. You brought up the business aspect. My point of view was from a sports perspective. Tanking to me is intentionally trying to lose. Teams spending money today are doing so to make their teams better. To try and win. How can you not see the difference there? I think that is funny. Actually I responded to what you posted, not the other way around.

I'm happy for Manning that he got a gig, but he scored a nice contract. Like, more money than I thought he would get.

I'm mildly surprised that Petr Mrazek scored an NHL gig with Carolina. He was legitimately bad here. I'm surprised they went with Mrazek over Steve Mason.

Also surprised that Stastny only got 3 years.

If he was used in philly as a 6 or a 7 then I couldn’t agree more...(frank)ing love players that will go to the mat for their team.

Agreed on all fronts.

Do you guys feel even a tiny bit bad for the Islanders?

That is the dumbest thing I've ever read.

Actually, it was Farabee & Frost. But, I dislike this loser too, so keep going with the sausage jokes

You shouldn't encourage me. My filter is broken

Nobody would purposely tank, DUH.

Is this what a 6/7th d-man costs now?

Great for him though, 4.5 million is more than a successful career.

Dubas mentioned that they studied other sports free agency before bidding for Tavares. Said they used the Raptors and Masai Ujiri as a resource. “We’d be crazy not to”
- PhillySportsGuy

it's like he was reading your conversation earlier

Blue Jackets signed Riley Nash...haven’t backread much for my own sanity

Phantoms got rid of their trash too. Lamarche signed with Laval.

Also Lyons new mask is sick

I feel bad for Islander fans. Seems like this was Tavares end game all along.

Especially given he was an undrafted FA at the start of his career.

I mean, I'm glad the Flyers didn't pay that, but good on him for getting paid.

Yeah, I don't know what the hell went on in here today.

My only regret is that we don't have Brayden Schenn anymore.

So we can trade him again.

- FlyerFan16

Yeah. It’ll be interesting to see how true that is. It doesn’t seem like it was an easy decision for him, but would’ve been nice if they got something for him if he was considering it all along.
