Confirmed Trade: [VGK/WSH] Anthony Mantha (50% retained) for 2024 2nd round pick and 2026 4th round pick

[Turin]

Literally nothing Vegas about him except for size, But they do love size.

 

[TehDoak]

Mantha and some Vegas juice would be terrifying

Vegas Juice?

Vegas power powder!

 

[StickShift]

I wonder if this will cause anyone else in the west to seek bigger players. Vegas was already a heavy team. Even if Mantha doesn’t always play that way.

Canucks had been connected to Jordan Greenway.

 

[Three On Zero]

He literally fits into NOTHING they do. Very strange fit.

That’s what people also said about the player they took at the draft, Vegas will find a way to turn him into a shooter that can go under par

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Edmonton is probably on Buchnevich big time then. Vegas did this last year with Timo rumors and getting Barbashev before the Devils landed Meier so maybe it's a hint to that as well.

Front Door, Shut The

 

[K Fleur]

Mantha sucks

 

[Frobbo]

Maybe ala

Maybe, ala Tatar. Don't know the price but they can walk away at end of season.

Interesting. Curious to see return and if there's retention

 

[Ryder71]

Curious on the return.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

I hate it.

You don't even know what you traded...

Gratzky @John Price

 

[NailsHoglander]

Everyone bashing Mantha, so naturally he will light it up in Vegas

 

[BHD]

Have fun, Butch

 

[Super Cake]

This team has a severe lack of effort problem going on right now. So they decide to trade for another lazy player.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Well he is tall.

That's one thing.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’ll guess a second and a random prospect

Contract year though. He’s been solid this season

Once he gets a multi-year deal he’ll float again

 

[Super Cake]

You don't even know what you traded...

I am of the mindset that they shouldn't be giving up any assets in the first place.

I don’t see any reason why Washington wouldn’t prefer to retain to increase the return.

 

[WatchfulElm]

The new French connection?
Marchessault-Roy-Carrier-Mantha

 

[stats1]

Guentzel (Vancouver) Buch(NYR, EDM)

 

[bringbacktheskate604]

Full details aren’t even out yet

I know and maybe I'm wrong but I don't see Vegas being able to add both. This seems more like they shifted to another direction.

 

[TheBeard]

Anthony just ain't that good

 

[oilers4life5]

Glad we did not get him.
