For the 1 millionth time. Manson sucks. He is worth a 3rd round pick at most. However to put this in your perspective.

Does Manson actually suck though or you just think so? Does he suck to you because he doesn't put up attractive offensive numbers? Why does he "suck"?

Corsi and fenwick both just over 45%

+/ - at -10

And as you mentioned his offensive numbers don’t make up for his lack of defence at all.

Really the only thing he can do is hit. You don’t pay 4 million dollars for that though.

There are much better younger, cheaper, and more controllable players the leafs can target. Also there is no excuse for being a bad player on a bad team because there are guys like Matt Roy and Brandon Montour who are much better and playing on bad teams as well.

He fails the eye test
He fails the analytics test
And he fails the classic stats test.

He sucks according to anybody with any knowledge of hockey lol. It isn't just him. He's rapidly declined over the past few years and will continue too. Even if Dubas got one season out of Manson it would be short lived. He can't skate, he's got no offensive presence, etc. He's just brutal in a lot of ways these days.

In what world do you even think q top line winger is worth an aging defenceman?
