Not at all for the Sharks. Any team will want a 2nd to take on RyJo

Sabres aren't trading Mittelstadt and Colorado can't afford to sign him. As for the offer I don't think it's close because Manson is fine but he is almost 33 so he doesn't fit the timeline to compete for the Sabres

In the offseason? It costs a 2nd for a guy making 4 mil for one season who can still put up around 30 points? Definitely not

There’s a lot of wishful thinking going on here, from the Mittlestadt trade and contract, to giving Tannev 3x4.7.

Bailey? Marleau?

Manson is a great start, but the Sabres don't need Olausson at all, nor a 2nd 2 drafts from now. Add about 2 mill to Mittelstadt's contract as well

A little optimistic on the contract signings to say the least.

EXACTLY THIS ^

A 33year old Manson is exactly the OPPOSITE of a “great start”
He’s too old to fit our timeline- WAY TOO OLD

ZERO CHANCE he’d be the RD we target
No way

Defensive dmen are better in their 30s.

Manson is almost done
He doesn’t fit our timeline, period.

Based on what? Manson is one of the best defensive dmen in the league, and could easily play until 40

Avs fans are shocked that a guy who cant score 30 pts on a stacked Avs team making 4M that other teams are not jamming the phone lines for him. I'm sure they would give a 3rd for Lebanc

Claiming he could play till he’s 40 is ABSURD
Absolutely no way at all to know that

No way to know he's almost done as well though

99.9% of defenseman in NHL history are MUCH CLOSER to being done at 33 than they are at 40

And regardless of what YOU think of Manson,
it’s highly unlikely that Adams goes after a 33 year old
Especially when Gus like Roy & DeMelo are about to be UFAs and are significantly younger
