3 landing spots for Anthony Mantha
#2 Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks are rebuilding and Mantha could be a big part of that rebuild. After all their moves at the trade deadline their current leading scoring winger is Taylor Raddysh with 20 goals. He’s 24. Mantha has 11 goals and again he’s 28.
"Regarding Mantha: things haven’t worked out, and he hasn’t capitalized on a fully-healthy season. He has been a healthy scratch on numerous occasions and has been inconsistent and snakebitten, unable to finish on his chances and struggling offensively and defensively. However, it’s unclear whether or not he’s still in the mix going forward, let alone what his trade value would be."
That’s why this isn’t quite a rumors article. We’re just having fun here speculating where he could go. But yeah a young and rebuilding team like the Blackhawks could certainly use a veteran like Mantha. And he won’t get in trouble off the ice. Mantha is a family man having just gave birth to a girl with his wife.
Mantha has only appeared in 67 games this season. Last year it was just 37 but he got a free pass because last year he was hurt.
