THE ATHLETIC IS GARBAGE
You don't think he'd be better than Helm or Richards?
Not a chance. Helm is fast, kills penalties and brings energy. Richards is slick with nice passing and sees the ice really well. Both are able defensively responsible.
Mantha can't skate like Helm, can't PK, and isn't nearly defensively responsible. Mantha is mentally fragile and needs lots of confidence for his offense to shine.
Mantha would be a liability on the team right now.
