Alright

Detroit declines, Kotkanieme plus your first. Then maybe. Otherwise NO

Yet another Mantha to Montreal trade...sigh...just no. Detroit considers him untouchable just like any other team would a sniper power forward with size and ability to drive the net.

...and unless Detroit retains 50% in the deal you aren't getting him for close to 3.3M

Why keep him if youre rebuilding tho? This team wont be competitive before 4-5 years (till then, Mantha will be 30 yo and his best years behind him)... Adding a guy like Sanderson plus great assets would be much better for your team imo

Yes we are rebuilding but it doesn't mean proper asset return, MTL needs to make a push for playoffs as prices window is dwindling, MTL has assets down the middle as well KK regressed, so you can make an argument either way. Pair mantha with a feeder center and you'll get hist teame Canada production... thats what detrlit fans know.

KK didnt regressed wtf. He was our best player during these playoffs. Maybe if you were watching other teams than DET, youd see there are better players than Mantha out there. Ffs some people here dont know hockey
