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

[crab]

Mantha should be a very solid addition for Vegas. I wouldn’t sign him to a long term deal but on an expiring contract looking for his next contract he is solid.

So are you telling me there is still time to cancel this trade? Quick, someone who is in Vegas go over to Mcrimmons office and smash all of his phones.

*Conditions: If Capitals re-sign Shattenkirk or advance to 2016/17 Eastern Conference Finals and if Shattenkirk plays in 50% of the first two rounds, Blues receive 2019 2nd round draft pick. If Capitals trade Shattenkirk on or before July 1, 2017; Blues receive a 7th round draft pick. However, should the return in a trade be a 4th round pick or earlier; instead of the 7th round pick, Blues receive next available pick two rounds later than the earliest pick received by the Capitals.

is this a shattenkirk situation again with all the details?

Hearing Vegas has gained 4.75M of LTIR space from acquiring Mantha

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:

Even at JFresh's model is around 95% WAR this season.

Mantha is gonna turn into a point per game star on Vegas.

 

[periferal]

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

Figured a Caps fan would try to defend the original Mantha deal. Forgetting Vrana, the Caps gave up the 2021 1st that became Wyatt Johnston so I feel very confident they won't be getting back something as valuable as WJ for Mantha now.

This strikes me as a cap dump for Washington where they maybe get back a middling prospect like Cormier.

 

[LarKing]

Not a Mantha fan but I like this move for Vegas assuming they didn't give up a lot. Mantha knows he'll get paid if he has a big run with them. I feel for whoever signs him long term if he does.

No chance. We don't need cap space and Mantha has played well.

 

[CupInSIX]

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

It's been quiet...a little too quiet. (in other words no idea)

 

[VivaLasVegas]

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

No doubt, but how about at hockey?

A cap dump for a player on an expiring contract with a team that has no salary cap issues. You win the worst thought of the day

 

[oceanchild]

I wonder how this impacts Vegas trying to land Guentzel, especially with them also being in on Tarasenko

 

[Mr Bop]

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Mantha is a big boy but he doesn't really play physical. That's what's kind of funny about the usual frothing about his size.

I still think he'll be a good fit with VGK tho.

Does Vegas have an AHL team?

Dude probably had 2 mil left prorated on a team he's not coming back to. If they get more than a meh prospect out of it I'll be shocked.

Edit: a 2nd and a 4th is about right as well.

Yeah, but they got some production in the meantime. Besides, you don’t know yet what they’ll get for sending Mantha to Vegas, it could be a pick that lands a great prospect.

 

[BananaSquad]

Jack Eichel going back to back.

 

[CupInSIX]

ok that's why they did it

Too good to pass up
