Good luck to him! 
Around the middle, 2 names are combined to spell ''Methotards''. I find it funny.

Hard work does not beat talent, you can work as hard as you want you'll never beat a pro athlete.
Manny can work as he wants he can't touch Crosby even if he worked 10X harder

I think he was the best face-off man in the league for a few years as well.
63% in the dot for Vancouver in 2010 which is insane.

Happy trails, Manny.
Loved him during his brief time with the Sharks. Classic example of a guy who did all the little things right and then some. Wish we could've kept him for longer.

I have a feeling he'll be working for the Canucks soon.

Malhotra is now looking to transition to the next phase of his hockey career and is seeking work in coaching or player development.
The Province has learned his next role may be waiting for him at Rogers Arena.
Canucks General Manager Jim Benning confirmed that the organization is exploring ways to bring Malhotra back into the fold.
“We’re looking into that,†Benning said. “But we don’t have any announcement right now.â€
“I’d like to stay in the game in a mentorship or coaching role,†he said. “I don’t want to talk too much about the opportunities until something materializes. I love the game of hockey and everything it has afforded me. I’d definitely like to give back. I enjoy coaching, Over the course of this summer, I went to a couple of coaching seminars. With the way hockey is evolving now, you see a lot more positions and development roles opening up. So who knows?â€.
When pressed on the Canucks specifically, Malhotra wouldn’t budge.
“I don’t want to jinx anything or have something fall through,†he said.

Keep in mind though, this is a guy who went to San Jose on a PTO, won a job, turned it into a 3 year contract.
Had a horrendous injury, and still managed to play a handful of games.

Spent a couple seasons as the league's best defensive forward before the eye injury. If the Selke was awarded as it should be, he'd have at least one of them.

A total bust would not be someone who carves out 15 plus years in the league. I don't care if he was primarily a bottom 6 guy, that long jevity is impressive for anyone in any role.
A total bust does not end up in the league and staying there as a teenager, although one can always wonder whether it's good for the development of a player to bring them up so early.

Sorry for not knowing random facts about a player who has never played for my favourite team.
Interesting stuff though, thanks for sharing it!

You encountered Negative Man!
He said Manny was a bust considering where he was drafted. Maybe there's a better word for it, but when a guy goes 7th overall, you expect him to be more than a bottom six guy. So, is he a bust? No, because of the reasons you mentioned, but people expected more from him since he was a high pick.

still one of my favourite canuck games from that era. maybe my favourite.
manny added so much to that team. not just defense, but he took a pretty fragile group and gave them calmness and self-assurance. maybe even more importantly, he gave them some really underrated toughness. and not in the ima-be-superman kesler way, or even in the bieksa way, and i love both those guys, but in more of due-course, a we-play-tough-because-that's-what-we-do way. no surprise he got an A on his jersey even though he'd just arrived as a free agent.
what you don't see in the highlights is malhotra, torres, and hansen just forechecking the red wings into the ground, to the point where friggin' lidstrom was rushing outlet passes and coughing up the puck because he heard footsteps. this game was a major major turning point for that team and the run they would go on. i think a healthy manny in the finals turns the series, and not because of his defensive ability even, just in the attitude the team took on when he got here.

I don't remember what malhotra's scouting report at the draft was, but looking back at it, maybe his high pick was a result of the somewhat mediocre draft field. Did the rangers just decide to a take what I assume was a safe pick in a mediocre draft?
Looking at the first round, you got a studs in lecavalier and Gomez (at least the first half of his career)....
Then you also got other good players in Stuart, regehr, gagne and fischer, tanguay, and legwand.... you can make a stud case for some of these names too but the point is that they should all be justified in being drafted higher than Manny.
After that, it becomes more blurry as to who should have ended up where, so maybe his draft status is not as far off as we would think for that draft year.
In any case, I was contesting the term used which was "TOTAL bust". That's too severe for the career he had.
