Guy couldn't put the puck through a barn door, he's got the offensive instincts of a Igor Ulanov... Oh man... saw a tweet about him, think with Ray Ferraro(?), asking if anyone with Edmonton watched him play in LA last year. ha. I for sure thought he was a good signing for depth/secondary scoring.

This reminds me a Cam Barker, who reminds me of Whatshisname Manning.

I thought, when Barker was signed, "oh cool, the Oilers got a 3rd overall pick on the cheap. That's a positive step and it could pay". Then I saw him skate in the preseason and knew there was no chance he was an NHL player at that point. The guy just could keep up. Same thing for Manning. Who, at any point this season, thought this guy could play? It took me 14 seconds, as a mouth breathing tier 2 fan to know this. Why are paid scouts and GMs not figuring it out?
