At some point reality needs to be addressed. Reality is he actively hurts the team when he is on the ice. Isn't even a direct reference to that last game against Pittsburgh last year, him turning the puck over in a completely stupid play to lose the game and kill any hope at the playoffs. All the physical tools to be a great player, none of the mental.

It's what separates guys like David Pastrnak from Brock Boeser. Both are power wingers who should create offense. Pasta is a guy who has the tools to dominate at this level, and the "**** you" mentality to back it up and use it positively. Boeser, as much as I like him as a guy, does not. He's had every opportunity to show he can, and it just hasn't been consistent in Vancouver.

Mantha is the latter, in the worst way.
