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

 

[Grackle Party]

Atkinson seems like something that could happen for sure. the avs have been after him in the past and the CBus connection is there

 

[Vaslof]

I’m not saying Landy should go… But playing him at C makes no sense at all.

I've not been the most positive on him, but I feel like the corpse of Landeskog would still be better than those guys we have.
Let's hope for option C then.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Atkinson would be near the bottom of cheap wingers I’d want to add this off season, but I wouldn’t hate it.

 

[sethro109]

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.

 

[Mighty Makar]

He’d fit right in.

 

[Muffin]

Meh Atkinson would be a Cogliano replacement.

[Tommy Shelby]

.....we're signing Atkinson on Monday, aren't we?

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Meh Atkinson would be a Cogliano replacement.

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?

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Pardon! Just kidding. Thanks for all that you do on this site. You will be terribly missed on Monday.

Good news, they moved it to Tuesday morning.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Good news, they moved it to Tuesday morning.

That’s because I filed a complaint. I said Avs’ Nation on HF NEEDS @Bill Peckerskull on Monday.

 

[avalanche_country]

Good news, they moved it to Tuesday morning.

I had a disaster recovery test scheduled for the night of game 7, that got moved and what a good feeling that was.

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.

 

[henchman21]

Atkinson isn't the guy he was even a couple years ago. I would stay away.

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.

 

[jaisen73]

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

My prediction : Stamkos doesn't uproot his family out of Tampa and they up their offer a little bit and he stays in TB.

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.
