Nope not even close

He’s getting there. Needs 2 or so more years.

No he isn’t, his value to the Ducks is much higher than his value to the rest of the league

He’s a solid top pair defenceman but is not in the top tier of the league

No? Great top 4 guy but not in top 20 even

Tough to say. He was really good in 17/18 and has been consistently good defensively since 15/16 but he hasn't been amazing either.

I'd say around top 15-20

l agree with all of my fellow Ducks colleagues -- he's the best we have at RD but he's not in the top tier of RD's in the League.

So if you take him away, imagine how terrible our defense would be.

No. But when the ducks won the Jennings trophy a couple seasons ago he and Lindholm were the biggest reasons why outside of the goalie play. As @Salzy said he’s worth more to the ducks than the rest of the league.

Yea this AFOX kid said he is worth Cody Glass

That depends on your definition. If you are asking if he’s first pair type. Yes. If you are asking if he is an elite top 20 overall type...no.

Well, I agree with him. As much as I like Cody Glass, the difference in the upgrade from Sam Steel to Glass isn't worth the loss of Manson to the Ducks. On another team, Glass might be a more valuable commodity and Manson a less valuable one (say, Carolina).
