Manning is one of the worst defensemen in the league. He follows the puck rather than defending against the attacking player. He gets caught very often by good passing around the net with him being completely out of the play, which causes open net goals.
Chicago's coaching staff will probably not use him too often when this habit is exposed, not like the dismal head coach of the Flyers. Hakstol over used Manning, especially whenever the Flyers scored and took momentum, Manning would be put into play on the next face off, creating a number of chances by the opponents.
In other words, this is an awful signing by the Blackhawks.
