I'd take itI wonder if he'd fit with the Jackets. Obviously Mantha can score in bunches but how good is he defensively? Is he the type of guy we have to worry about him slipping into the doghouse? Can he create on his own?
Regardless, that kind of scoring punch is worth a lot. The team has a lot of pending free agents and they need another topline winger to signal to the pending FAs that they're serious about winning. Perhaps:
Gus Nyquist + 1st round pick + your choice of any prospect (Liam Foudy, Kirill Marchenko, etc..)
Anthony Mantha
Obviously Gus is rehabbing from shoulder surgery right now. He was a smart and useful player for the Jackets last year but wasn't able to shoot like he used to because of a longstanding shoulder issue, I'm hoping his old shot comes back.
Gifted Chicago 2 goals tonight, does Detroit really want to build around a guy with this kinda effort level?

You dirty dog!
I think he was inspired by how quickly PLD got moved after showing similar effort. Maybe he's frustrated with losing, maybe he wants out of Detroit.

Perhaps it has to do more with being off close to 11 months, Then wanting out of Detroit. If he wanted out of Detroit. I seriously doubt he'd commit 4 years plus buy a new home in the Metro Detroit area.

I guess after 11 months off you forget how to put in effort or play like you give a shit.
Good point about the new contract though.

I like Mantha size and offense but if his 200 game is lacking, Julien will send him ti the press box to make paper airplanes.
Trade value is a Lehky and a very high value prospect.....Caufield/Struble.
Lehky...Caufield/Struble...Byron and a low 1st. Too low? Because why? Both prospects are top 4 or top 6 and will be giving a decade of service when Mantha starts declining in a few years.
Or let him get bored of losing....

Nyquist is OK.
But I like Marchenko. And a first?
I honestly like this deal for Detroit.

Burakovsky had 3 straight 12-goal seasons and was nowhere near realizing his potential. Mantha, in some ways is the same, but he's done better than 3 straight 12-goal seasons.
Well now that the Dubois-Laine trade has happened the Jackets can't do it anymore. All of their trade capital has to go into getting better at center ice.
And yes, Nyquist isn't supposed to be the main draw of the deal, he's just a good winger and Detroit could use him. Kirill Marchenko is probably the main draw, and 1sts are always nice. At this point I feel sheepish about the Foudy suggestion, he just had a couple huge games.

legit sized , 6'+ 200lb+ , left shooting dman prospect + a 1st is what ide hope for . and detroit could take back a cap dump plus add a vet if its a deal to a contender .

Actually I don’t wonder at all. There is zero chance the Canucks move their only entry level players with real nhl potential and their second consecutive 1st. I like Mantha but he has career high of 48points, not exactly the kind of player you trade a huge futures package for.

What about the Washington Capitals.
Mantha
for
TJ Oshie, McMichael and Alexeyev.
We do Washington a pretty big solid taking that long-ass Oshie contract.

Better player: Mantha or W. Nylander?
remember this? lol. willy is 2 years younger and his three best seasons are all better than manthas career year. he also has a 7-3 pt lead to start the year.

Calling Mantha soft is a pretty weird take. And his last two seasons have been pretty impressive, the only thing holding him back has been injuries. Can't deny that he's been pretty bad to start the year but I think he will turn it around.

I just went over to capfriendly. Mantha is 5.7 million dollar cap hit. Ouch.
Can't see him fit for the Habs unless we send Drouin the other way. Apples for apples....waste of time. Although with Anderson on one side and Mantha in the other, Suzuki will look like the kid brother....lol
Lehky plus Caufield plus Byron? Helps the Habs but does nothing for the Wings unless they really value Caulfield.
Still...no way he fits in unless he plays 200 foot game. With Anderson and Suzuki, if he doesnt play a complete game, he will stand out....badly.

jones doesnt work . but the thought of mantha on mc'd or dry's line becomes scary because with everybody collapsed on one of them who then dish the puck off to mantha with his deadly finish would add up to continuous 40 goal mantha seasons .
He also has matthews,marner,tavares,reilly on the back end . Put mantha there in his spot and he’d have at least similar numbers
I know it was only preseason, but last year during preseason, he looked like an absolute beast and i was sure he was going to be a dominant player with potentially 40 goals
