I think Mantha's much more dynamic a player than anyone on this roster outside of Sid and Geno. He's guilty of taking shifts off and you would love a guy his size to use his size more effectively, but you're not getting a flawless player. Teams don't let those guys go, especially for what we have to offer. I'm not married to the idea, but I do think Mantha is a guy who could breakout if he escapes Detroit. Don't think we have what they'll want, but I could totally see Mantha working really well with Geno + Grunt, Laughton in this case.

And I'd like us to be rid of Sully this summer anyway. I get that the team's gone on a nice run, but I feel like they go on a nice run every season. If/when we bottom out again in the playoffs, I hope Hextall looks to install his guy behind the bench, whoever that may be.

Re: Zucker, we should all be wanting more. The guy has it in him, he's just not putting it together. I'm not saying he's been stellar, but I've wanted him for a while in Minny and I've always liked the player. This season's Zucker isn't the same Zucker that's been in the league for as long as he has.

Re Zucker: Sometimes it's just how things happen. It doesn't need to be Brassard level, but sometimes guys for whatever reason don't put it together with the new team.

Re Mantha: I wouldn't split Malkin and Kapanen, but after typing that reply I remembered Kapanen can play either wing. Kapanen-Malkin-Mantha could be interesting, but you better be damn sure if you're taking on that cap hit . . .

You need scoring depth in this league. I severely doubt the front office sees Zucker as an inefficient use of cap space.

You do need scoring depth in this league, but the scoring depth actually has to score. :laugh:

Trade for a winger to play with kapp and Geno. Keep Zucker-McCann-erod together. Just my opinion and is easier said than done.
