We may have our own opinions, but that's quite harsh to call Josh Manson at $4.5m a mistake.

It was definitely a mistake. We're only halfway into his deal and so far we've had 1 awful year and 1 decent year, and he isn't getting younger.

Again, 33 years old before even one single game of next season starts.

Last year he was a legitimately fine #4D. It was also the most games he's played in a season since 2018. I'd bet a bunch of money last year proves to be the statistical anomaly and we see some pretty solid regression again this year.

I like Atkinson a lot. He also visited my nephew at the hospital once

Not sure he's still an impact player though

Guys, he's washed and already 35 years old. We don't want that. And in his 12 year NHL career, he's only played one full season.

In what way?

Cogliano was a warrior, Atkinson is a p***y Lady Byng nominee.

Cogliano didn’t miss games, Atkinson can’t stay healthy.

Cogliano was a PK and defensive specialist, Atkinson is a one dimensional goal scorer.

How are these players similar at all?
They both wear skates when they play. ;)

I mean you’re signing him for 1 year and for not much at all. Would be as low risk as it gets if it doesn’t work out.

Not advocating for him, but realistically it wouldn’t the worst thing if we signed him and it didn’t work.

Really best for all parties IMO. Tampa will get some much needed space and can get younger. Stammer can find a place for his twilight years where he's not a franchise icon.

Atkinson on a 1 year under 1 million? I wouldn't say no. Bottom 6 roles on the cheap are going to be vital.

He doesn't play a bottom 6 role.

Soft as butter, can't stay healthy, no sandpaper to his game. He's a midget one-dimensional goal scorer who has lost more than a couple of steps.
