bold. i like it. i get why you needed to dump byron contract, but not sure kukan is better than fleury... other than that i like where your head is at!

DET has tons of cap space, and tons of free agents to let go (and sign!)... I don't understand everyone's fascination with thinking DET is going to let Mantha go.

Am I missing something somewhere?

You aren’t. Only way they move him is if somebody blows them away with an offer. And that ain’t it 👆

Dog crap offer as usual, pathetic montreal

The Jets aren't going to trade Laine for a pile of garbage, no matter how high you stack it, it's still garbage.

We are not giving up Mantha for Domi, it fills.possbly one hole and creates another. Then what is the rest of that crap deal? Poehling has been horrible this year. Rasmussen played well in GR before getting hurt and why are we trading Zetterberg? We have no cap issues and in real money it is peanuts because he is owed only 1 million and that is covered by insurance.

This might be the new worst Mantha trade I’ve seen

Actually No, sadly. There was the Mete and two 2nd round picks in 2021 and 2022 and then there was the Mantha and Veleno for Poehling, Petry, Tatar and a 3rd in 2021

That pathetic offer isn't getting you Mantha, Zetterberg and Rasmussen. How many times do we need to say that we don't want Domi? Evan and Poehling no thanks. Pure meh.

Byron is not a top-6 scoring forward on a top contender, which is what Columbus is aiming to be. Moreover, he's already into his decline, so there's little upside at a $3.4M price point through 22. They'll pass on this deal.
