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

[stl76]

Is this even confirmed without actual details?

 

[Flair Hay]

Doh

 

[Teemu]

Vegas circumsizing the cap

Mods gonna close this thread due to unforseen circumcisions

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The return is not going to make the acquiring of Mantha look good for the Caps.

Considering Vrana is no longer in the NHL or in the Red Wings organization, I would say it’s not so bad.

 

[Super Cake]

What are the Knights giving up? Release the details already.

 

[Caps8112]

Don’t care if they gave him away for free. Sorry Vegas. He will show you flashes of brilliance and then disappoint you the other 90% of the time

 

[Osprey]

Mantha sounds like a comic book hero or Godzilla ally. The Vegas Golden Knights, with the aid of the mighty Mantha, will vanquish their foes this postseason.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

we go from covid cup champions to cap circumvention cup champions

What are the Knights giving up? Release the details already.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was Morozov as part of the deal

This is gonna be like the Meier trade where we were all waiting around for hours for the return lmfao.

 

[xECK29x]

Huge add.

Compare this nonsense to actual scouting reports and he falls somewhere in between:

Also the Microstats are a better thing to look at for JFresh from the summaries:

What's the word on him? Would he consider coming back over with a new team?

[oceanchild]

Yeah I would not trust that at all. 98 out of 100 is just silly by whatever metrics you use to evaluate Anthony Mantha.

He's been pretty good though.

And not one single sub category was a 98, doesn’t even make sense.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

OMG A TRADE

 

[stl76]

I guess that’s confirmation? So weird to see the official NHL account citing Dreger lol

Free

Meh, we used that 1st to move up and grab Cossa who looks like a future starter. Buchelnikov was a solid pick as well.

It is funny how neither roster player did much of anything though

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Yeah, thos season.

Dude is notorious for being lackadaisical

 

[HeyMattyB]

As a Caps fan, I'm going to miss saying, after Mantha scores a goal...

"[INSERT SCORED-UPON GOALIE'S NAME], you may have been a good goalie, but now you're Mantha fodder." (Jabba laugh)

 

[GKJ]

This doesn't seem like the Vegas thing to do. They are aggressive, and this is that, but they don't seem to submit to someone else selling high. Though I guess Barbashev was that, and it worked.

Mantha definitely is having a great season, but he's underachieved so much in his career, that there's something I don't trust about that, even as a UFA.

 

[Steddy33]

Yup would want nothing to do with this guy. Low effort give aways all day

 

[Cake Eater]

Considering Vrana is no longer in the NHL or in the Red Wings organization, I would say it’s not so bad.

What about the 1st and 2nd?

 

[Glorydays22]

Of all the players Vegas was in on....they trade for him? Wow, bad move. He won't fit in at all.
