Confirmed with Link: Flames sign Anthony Mantha (1 yr, $3.5m)

It's still way way too early but... right now it seems the plan is "hope Mantha rejuvenates his career and then trade him at the TDL".

However, what if Mantha becomes an important piece in resurecting Huberdeau's career? The guy that Huberdeau has been missing for the past 2 years? Do we still trade him... or extend him?

Then we'd trade them both together!

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I think we need to keep him for a while.

Extend. But offer what we'd offer to Kuzmenko to him instead.

Basically less than 3 years at less than Rango AAV.

4 months seems about right

It would have to be either short term extension or trade. Can't take a long term gamble on him but if he works then he can stay until he's not needed anymore.

Decent soldier so far who is using his attributes efficiently.

Not busting his ass off, very measurable approach.

I'm pleasantly durprised by Mantha. I think he's playing hard out there. I didn't realize he's as big as he is. Adds a lot of toughness to the lineup.

Yeah, nasty line with big blokes in Pospi and Hubie.

Contract year can do a lot to a guy’s compete level. Stay the course with Mantha. Pump and dump

 

[joescores]

I don't know much about the type of injury he suffered. Is it possible he could be back for POs?

ACL surgery is tough to recover from. Figure six months minimum, just to get back to practicing and conditioning.

If we're still playing in June, maybe?
