Mantha's a bit of an enigma.
On one hand his size, skill, and potential to break out and score even more goals than he does is an attractive risk.
On the other hand, he can frustrate with a lack of detail and push back for his stature and skating ability.
A pending UFA who carries a cap hit of $5.7M
Leans goal scorer more than play maker. Has the pace to be a threat off the rush in transition. Has the length to coral pucks in high danger areas and direct the play to the net. Can be a distraction / hard to defend when engaged. Lacks consistency … but he's scored 17G-11A in 50GP
Averages 14 minutes per game TOI. All of his ice time comes at ES and on the PP.
For a big man he lacks physical push back. Only credited with 27 hits and 17 shot blocks.
Goal scorer when he's on. Shoot first mentality.
