no need to add anything thats perfect

Poulin or Poj + first

I think pens need to add forsure; but tbh I think there is something here. Wings fans love to overrate Mantha but the reality is the dude has never even broken 50 points. Wings LHD is dreadful, and MP would be a young stabilizing force to play with Hronek or Seider. I think pens need to add something due to Mantha’s upside, but the base is certainly a good deal for both teams. Well done!

I would say a 1st or a mid tier prospect and a 2nd.

Get real noway does Marcus Pettersson 1 for 1 get you Anthony Mantha. Tons of teams would offer Detroit by far better deal then Pettersson.

lmao for a guy whose best season is 48 points? Na. A package like that could get someone better

sarcasm

Thats fine, we are happy to keep him

Thank you! I definitely think something could get brewing here. Maybe the Pens add a 2nd round pick and someone like Gruden or even Legare. As much as I want to keep our picks and prospects, imagine Mantha playing alongside Malkin and Kapanen. That line would be ridiculous...

48 points in 67 games
38 points in 43 games

Yeah, let’s continue this 50 point narrative. If he stops fighting he’ll stay healthy. If you view him as a 50 point player why would Yzerman sell him?

I wouldn’t call MP a “stabilizing force” the dude is a 4D with potential but that goes both ways.

This is definitely a fair argument to be had. But again, isn't a top 4D plus a 2nd and a mid-tier prospect a pretty damn good offer for a guy who is yet to hit 50 points?

If poj or poulin isn't in the deal we aren't trading him regardless

Mantha can’t stay healthy and he’s never proven he could continue that scoring pace. I view him currently as a 50-60 point player. He’s a good top 6 forward but nothing special. MP has room to grow and is very solid defensively. He would be an immediate fixture on your blue line. I already said pens add, but the base is definitely very fair.

50-60 point winger for a top 4D++

LMAO Yeah a guy that was on pace for 72 points until Muzzin slew footed him breaking his rib and costing him over 20 games.

No poj or poulin we aren't trading him, we will get our LD in the draft this year plus we have plenty of cap space to sign a different one if needed. It starts with one of those guys or we won't be dealing him

TBH, there's really nothing the Pens can offer that would interest me besides Kapanen and their 1st. Petterrsson is good but is he better than whoever we draft and some of our prospects?

Maybe Pettersson, Kap and a 2nd? But why would we want to get rid of Mantha for that?

Either the Pens overpay (which they wont) or this doesn't happen....so it doesn't happen.

No deal then, neither of those is even close to being something Pittsburgh can do

Petterson isnt bad. Had a good season last year but he doesn't have the offensive upside that id pay through the nose for. I'll take him but hes notbwhat id want in the center of a mantha deal.

Okay

What the hell? You want a younger forward with more points, a second, AND a top four Dman with term for mantha

Where the hell do you get off thinking that’s appropriate

Kapanen is alone worth more than mantha...

Awesome. That package is getting a guy "who was on pace to score 72 points" So whats the excuse for every other year where he hasn't put up 50?

Yeah apparently mantha, who has never broken 50 points is worth Petey, Kapanen AND a high pick lmao

I see why Detroit is going nowhere, the city exists in its own reality!

Good job not understanding what I wrote....yikes

That's fine, we are happy to keep him

Detroit Fans: Um. Um. He has a white stick like Joe Pavelski.
