Good, we don't need mediocre sentimental namesakes. Foote is pretty bad, the only reason he was ever even discussed here was due to his name. Without that he'd never even been brought up.
False, it was also because he was one if the few right shot nhl defensemen left in FA who we could at least take a chance with on the 3rd pairing.

Yeah I'd agree with that. He's simply a kid in that fringe NHL area... is he a AAAA Tynan or is he a Kerfoot?

I do find it rather funny how this is basically the deal for TDA getting completed and it is not circumvention... but the simple retaining for this deal would have been. Nuance is a funny thing. :laugh:
it's total cap circumvention. Flyers eat the buyout and get a prospect.

But to the NHL, precedent is not. :scared:

The Canes top players don't elevate their game in the playoffs. They regularly get shutdown and the team as a whole has issues putting the puck in the back of the net.

You can't win like that. Smythe worthy runs are needed from at least a couple guys.

Should have traded Toews and two firsts for Horvat is what I'm choosing to interpret the last 15 pages as.

Also Manson bad. A player who plays a game like Manson but isn't bad is very crucial to playoff success. But not being bad is the important qualifier.

Can Manson aging and coming off an injury improve to a mediocre second pairing defender? If he can the defense looks very good after trading Girard for Petry and a fourth rounder.

I mean based on Mansons last few years, the real question is can Manson play 55 games?

Manson is one tenth of the player Footer ever was. But Footer had a 4 or 5 year stretch in his prime where he struggled to play 60 games. But then he capped it off with 2 good relatively healthy seasons for the Avs.

If Manson can play two years healthy at a #4 level of play that would go a long way. Otherwise can he get allergic to his skates real quick?
