LW Anthony Mantha - Val d'Or, QMJHL (2013, 20th overall, Detroit)

[newfy]

The fighting is always something that has made me think Mantha has more competitiveness than some people let on. Hes not some heavyweight but he can handle himself and hes huge, for a guy scoring that much he really shouldnt even be fighting. Over the course of last year he had 5 fights and this year he has 2. He could be one of those Getzlaf types that dont really fight a lot but you can count on at the end of a playoff game to handle themselves well if someone starts jumping people. If he fills out more than he is right now he could be a solid scrapper.

Not that I would want him fighting much if hes scoring like he should be but its always nice to have that dimension

I think Mantha will fill out to 215-220 and have a "Jeff-Carter-Type-Physique"

2+3 tonight

Puts him at 47+50 in 44 games

I know that guys have put up points like this in the past, but has anyone picked outside of the top 10 put up these kind of numbers in recent memory?

Connor Brown this year drafted in the 6th round two years ago by the Leafs. He has 107 pts in 53 games.

Don't have to look further than the guy 2nd in pts in the Q.

edit: now that i look at it, ppg wise he's not actually that close

Dane Fox from the same team is undrafted and has 55G + 35A in 55 GP.

 

[mindfly]

Those are all older and smaller players though, Size matters

Mantha would have 117 points if he had played that many games, so not really close at all. Anyone else?

Which one of them gets to play with McDavid though?

Also, the Fox guy is in his 5th OHL season..

Funny that you that, hes the only guy that kinda crossed my mind when I said that. But Mantha is over a goal per game while Brown isnt close to that and like someone said Mantha would have 10 more points or so. Worth pointing out that Manthas team was supposed to be brutal this year but hes turned them into a great team while Erie is a powerhouse and Brown's whole line is ripping pretty good.

Heres the scrap from the other day. I mean the guy is obviously smaller but Mantha still tuned him. I like seeing a guy that scores that much willing to step in on a dirty hit

[Brandel*]

49 goals & 100 pts in 46 games

 

[Tatar Shots]

Mantha scored his 50th goal tonight

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

50 goals and 102 points (so far tonight) in 48 games. Not too shabby for the 20th overall pick.

 

[EichHart]

Detriot continues to get incredible players late in the draft in comparison to most. They have by far the best scouting staff in the NHL. I'm jealous.

 

[Claypool]

50 goals and 102 points (so far tonight) in 48 games. Not too shabby for the 20th overall pick.

He also scored his 50th with about 80 fewer shots taken than last year. I think statistically if he hits the same number of shots he had last year he'll be putting up over 65 goals.

Unfortunately only 10 games left

 

[Claypool]

Unfortunately only 10 games left

8 shots a game

 

[The Zermanator]

Unfortunately only 10 games left

He's over a goal per game, it wouldn't be impossible if he goes on a tear (by his standards).

 

[Anchor Town*]

3 primary assists for Mantha tonight. Up to 50+55=105 in 49 games

 

[shultzyfeelinirie20]

lmao really 105 pts in 49 games is insane

 

[wings95]

lmao really 105 pts in 49 games is insane

[Passchendaele]
