Anthony Mantha

So, but I also think they're a team that's very interesting.

And, and the reason why I just think it would be a good fit on the surface level is, you know, A- Anthony Mantha, uh, was a great add.

He, he's had consistency issues over his career, so like having a Kreider, it, it depends what Chris Kreider is willing to accept too.

Because if we're gonna call a spade a spade, a good team, a contending team, Chris Kreider's on line three or four.

Certainly an NHL player, but can you be what your skills, like why you were drafted, why you were developed at the NHL level? Who's going to get a chance in Pittsburgh?

I'm not comparing them player to player, but could he be this year's Anthony Mantha for the Penguins, right? He came in.

That's a long

and a short of it.

I sure as hell don't think Chris Illich is blameless, but when we go back to that report of how Illich deliberated and it cost them, Let's talk about the two players, Tim.

In seven years of Iserman, you're telling me the biggest, boldest, best moves he could come up with are one of the worst five-on-five players in the league in Stephen Stamkos, and then the revival tour of Anthony Mantha.

I don't know, man.

That's pretty brutal.

And I had a really good feel for what it is that he himself was trying to do.

And when he mentioned what his expectations and his staff's expectations were for players like Anthony Mantha, who I wasn't even thinking about.

I thought Mantha was going to come in wearing this giant knee brace and you had no idea.

Remember that, Taylor? He was just like a tryout guy.

Minnesota picked him up then in 1967.

And he's the grandfather of New Jersey Devils forward Anthony Mantha.

So, 198 points in 557 NHL games.

Andre Pronovost passing away at the age of 90.

But first, it's a power play.

Just two minutes after Anthony Mantha made it 5-1, John Klingberg having the game of his life, the game that made me temporarily forget how bad of a defenseman he is.

where he gets assisted by Toffoli and Eklund blasts it through a screen.

It's five to two.

Yeah.

They got from the Pittsburgh Penguins, Anthony Mantha.

So he jumped over from Pittsburgh to the Devils.

Yeah.
