like Rousell as far as fighting at least he's willing. The pushovers we got back there now aren't helping. Team usa women's team play with more stones then most of the guys on contract for hawks last year.

He may fight but he gets his butt kicked! Remember our own little guy Jordin Tootoo. Jordin put him down with one punch and Roussel turtles in the cradle position. This was after he was running Kane a couple of times

While Vegas was the talked of the town, world, they will come crashing down to respectibility and not high end and reaching cup finals

LOL...vandermeer23, but of course. All the Hawks problems are they don't fight.

He likes some seriously bad hockey players.

Matthews is the kind of guy that will make franchises break precedent. That God da%@ Wilson lost out on Tavares and would not think twice about offer sheeting Matthews!! Hawk fans know that first hand.

Matthews isn’t RFA right now

He will be when his ELC ends. I think that's what the other poster was referring to

The Athletic:

Perhaps it shouldn’t have been surprising, then, that when Hagg fell out of favor with the coaching staff leading into the playoffs, Manning took up the mantle as second-pair defenseman during Philadelphia’s first-round series versus Pittsburgh. The pairing of Manning and Radko Gudas received the secondary matchups against lines centered by Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, usage that showcased Hakstol’s apparent trust in the pair as a whole and Manning in particular.

I just had a movement, and it's at least as good as the hawks new free agents.

Hahaha

I just giggled reading all these spin quotes bowman spewed out on his conference call.

The hawks got older and slower. Well done. Andrew brunette part 2

Mrazek got 1 yr at 1.5 in CAR. He took less for a chance to beat out Darling as their #1?

Just a FYI those bonuses get paid that’s why most guys moved to those type of deals so they don’t lose money when lockouts happen. Which of course will happen again here when this cba expires.

Crosby 6G 7A

I have seen it both ways. *shrugs*

Can you show me a series that Malkin and Crosby didn't produce? I don't know if anyone has ever shut them down.

I was thinking the same thing. Manning is a dumpster fire. Late bloomer was my favorite quote by bowman.

Again. We have Keith and a stable of 5-7 d man.

I expect for the most part the fanct stats crowd will like Manning. He was a tad better at 5 on 5 scoring than 17 goal 41 point Provorov. Solid territorial play too over his 3yrs as a Flyer.

The Athletic:

Manning also continued to produce solid results in terms of raw territorial play at even strength, a trend that has persisted throughout his NHL career. In each of his three full seasons with the Flyers, the team has won the shot-attempts battle with the defenseman on the ice, and 2017-18 was no different. Even after adjusting for score and zone starts, Manning’s Corsi was a passable 50.64 percent, +1.26% relative to his teammates. And unlike in 2016-17, Philadelphia wasn’t outscored with Manning on the ice, as they won the goals battle by a 37-35 margin (51.39% Goals For Percentage). In terms of raw outcomes at least, Manning wasn’t a major liability.

Ok............. 32 yr old Green at 5.2 per for 2 yrs?

Ok...........
- Mr Ricochet

It’s reality. They are so far behind the good teams it’s trulu comical st this point. They have done a horrible job managing their long term cap space and retooling.

Higher cap number=higher salaries and the 2nd and 3rd tier guys get paid more.

Manning for 2.25 Aav is just as bad as a guy getting overpaid at a higher number.

The biggest joke of the day was the need to give cam ward a full ntc, but then again I’m not surprised because Stan loves ntc and then we wonder why we can’t make a trade.....Stan has no leverage. See AA as the next one.

None of these D-men is FA were worth signing at all is my point. Manning sure isn't worth 2.25M/year.

- Hawks_49

You're adding context???? You mean like the NHL coach of a team chooses players from his roster best fit to accomplish an objective should also be taken into account?

Interesting approach.

Its happened. The article was making it like Manning shutting them down. Crosby was at ~2PPG.
