No thanks, pizza boy doesnt want this either

I do think Dowd will get a 1st but don't think VGK will be that team. I do think VGK would take Mantha though.

I like that NJD trade. Works for both teams.

I think you're definitely right. Down doesn't fit in the lineup, considering when all 4 centers are healthy it's Eichel-Karlsson-Stephenson-Roy. Dowd doesn't fit in there anywhere unless they wanna move Stephenson to the wing. Mantha is an interesting option, but I'm not sure he really solves Vegas' problem all that much. The one thing Vegas doesn't have is a bonafide shooter, which Mantha isn't really. He's got the tools to be, but he's not right now.

Disagree. Mantha is a pure shooter:

78th in total goals
28th in goals/60
14th in 5v5 goals.
4th in 5v5 goals/60

If the dude was on the power play his total goal count would be much higher. Put him next to Eichel or Karlsson and watch out.
