Value of: armia/mantha trade proposal

[FerrisRox]

I don't see either team really doing this.

Really?

I think Montreal would be thrilled to do this.

 

[Mrfenn92]

They're a bottom five roster so probably will need to tank or retool. All their old guys except ovy have fallen off completely with nothing coming through the system.

They have talent in the system. Not as much as other teams that have bottomed out before them. But they have talent.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

The only thing that would rejuvenate Mantha's career is finding a time machine and going back to his teen years to instill some sort of consistent work ethic in him.

 

[Gaud]

I would do it as a habs fan, but i dont see it from the caps' point of view, unless they are tring to find 1.5 M (or whatever) space to make something else happen this year. Both players seem unmotivated to me, despite seemingly having all the assets a player should want. Maybe Mantha gets a kick in the pants from playing in montreal or from working with MSL? I dont see Armia doing the same with the caps though.

BTW, this was done before Proposal: - Armia for Mantha

 

[McJedi]

Armia has 2 years at 3.4$m and Mantha 1 at $5.7 m. Would either team consider as the players are each not performing. Both can possible rejuvinate their careers. Thoughts?-

lol. Not a chance Washington touches this trash. They get out of the Mantha contract after this season. Armia's stench lingers on the cap longer because he's not on an expiring deal.

Also... this frees up cap space for Washington this season... for what? They are clearly a lottery team. Who are they going to acquire for the balance of this season to take up that cap space they don't need.

 

[Maitz]

How about Mantha 25% retain with a 2nd pick for a 4th or 5th pick ? They clear 4M in cap space and lower their pick

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Why would Washington do this? Do we think before posting proposals?

What are they doing with that cap space? To get anybody worth while it's going to cost them even more assets. I just don't see it making sense right now.

In case WSH wants to make another move to boost their offense, I don't know their situation, I am just looking for a trade that fits both team needs.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Are the Caps seriously trying to compete this season? If so, and assuming dumping Mantha helps the Caps compete, what would they offer the Habs to take him off your hands?

Do the Habs need any goalie prospects?

 

[pth2]

I suspect the GMs have a deal "on ice", if ever Washington needs cap space for another move, but until there's a real need for that capspace, why whould Washington take on a contract obligation for next season or give Montreal assets, just to clear space they wouldn't have use for ?

Given how Montreal and Washington have traded recently (Edmundson), I figure these GMs have some measure of trust, so a preliminary discussion must have occurred at the very least.

 

[kmwtrucks]

what about this: Granland + 3rd to WASH, Mantha + 3rd to HABS, Armia + 2nd to Chicago.

 

[Caps8112]

Mantha has had such a disappointing career... if he gets another contract it'll be nowhere near $5M.

League min. Unless another gm is just drunk

Caps aren’t going to give anything away just to get rid of mantha in what looks like a bad year anyway. They are rid of his sorry ass anyway after the season. Totally useless player. Really is amazing

 

[Kimota]

Funny thing is Armia has been pretty good in the farm club and I have seen Mantha against the Habs and he was completely lifeless. I am not sure if he can be saved.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Mantha @50% for Armia @50% maybe

Armia looked that way (lifeless) the last couple of years playing against NHLers

 

[McJedi]

How about Mantha for Silverberg? Both are in the last year of their really bad contracts. Change of scenery from one bad team to another.

Yah know Armia had 2 bouts of Covid and we don't know if it messed up his cadiovascular or his respiratory systems. See Toews.

Then I guess the AHL demotion was his cure for long-COVID after all because he immediately started playing more motivated for Laval

[Bottle Rocket]

what about this: Granland + 3rd to WASH, Mantha + 3rd to HABS, Armia + 2nd to Chicago.

Where do I begin?

Granland... Do you mean Granlund. Or Garland. Any any case, none of them is with Chicago...

Sounds even trade. Both are junk. But Canadiens have 10.5 million in caproom so they absorb Mantha extra 2.3 million hit this year. In return one less year of Armia.

Headline says "currently being negotiated", article actually only says they "had a conversation", but has now "quieted down". Also.. Major? Must be a slow news year in Montreal.

...I’m told the Habs did indeed have a conversation with the Washington Capitals about local boy Anthony Mantha and Montreal forward Joel Armia was part of the discussion, but I am not sure Washington would have been his final landing spot. Those talks have quieted down but could get revisited if the Capitals reengage.

There are a lot of sites trying to squeeze every last click for the very thinnest of rumors...
