Good trade for VGK

Pretty cheap price for 50% retention

 

[CupInSIX]

Can they fit Brady in now

Mantha is t-33rd in EVGs for the season. That's the same as McDavid, Aho, Kreider and Marchand. That's more than M. Tkachuk, Hintz, Draisaitl and Reinhart (not kidding).

His S% is through the roof, though. It will come down, but when?

 

[Dion TheFluff]

didn't this guy have negative value like a year ago?

I guess that means Vegas is likely out of the Guentzel bidding.

 

[SEALBound]

But no cap space. 5.7 is a big number.

Penguins can retain 50% or use a third party.

That said, we still don't if there is rentetion. Usually that comes out later.

Boom. I'm smort.

No they’re not

 

[TheBeard]

They have about 7M in LTIR space left

Sure, but then if they bring in someone else close to 5 then no more Carrier, Dorofeyev and Maybe Howden.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Decent deal for both sides. Wondering why the Capitals didn't try to extend since he's having such a good year.

May have been asking for too much.

The legend of Anthony Mantooth continues

Buyers market man.

 

[TheBeard]

Boom. I'm smort.

Not sure why the penguins would retain 50% on a player that's not theirs.

 

[Detroit Knights]

lol....they didn't learn from taking the red wings wastes before with tatar? They are going to hate this guy with his skating

If WAS retained 50% like the reports, it is a few mill more.

I am in no way defending getting Mantha. Just glad he is off the marked so I can stop reading about fans of the Wings wanting him back

Thinking he means the Jake trade, but it is confusing

Because the only time he's showed a pulse is in a contract year, if I had to guess.

Open the top of your skull, put the hamster back on the wheel, and re-read our discussion.

The idea that the Caps managed to get anything out of this guy is hard to believe, given how he played for much of his tenure in DC. Pretty happy with the return. The baggage for most of his NHL career makes landing much more than this unlikely under the best of circumstances. He's just dogged it for far too many years.

Also makes a certain amount of depth scoring sense for Vegas, who get the version of Mantha who is playing for his next contract and that's the extent of their commitment. Retention leaves plenty of room for them to continue adding this week.

I wouldn't sign Mantha for anything this summer, though, unless he has to start taking one-year deals.

 

[GKJ]

Makes more sense than my last post now.

Yeah. That changes things.

Not sure why Washington bothered retaining that much for a meh return, but my guess is they weren't adding playing anyways so they threw in the 50% retention for an extra 4th or something.

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Because the only time he's showed a pulse is in a contract year, if I had to guess.

Still if the advanced stats were to be believed, rough only getting a 2nd and 4th for possibly your best performing player.

 

[mouser]

I view this trade as:

2024 2nd for Mantha, plus
2026 4th for 50% retention

This feels like the Dzingel to Columbus trade a few years back.
