Mantha signed to ELC

[Guest mjtm77]

Which is obviously why Mackinnon and Drouin were drafted in the top 3 last year right?

And Crosby was drafted number 1, There are exceptions. I am not putting Mantha down but the Q is a weaker league. At best we will see something like a Vanek or a Carter at worst a 3rd line bust. All I am saying his he wouldn't have the same numbers in the OHL. Also do you people not get he was a 94 birthdate player that missed the cut off by 1 day? he should have been drafted in 2012 and if he was its a no brainer he would be putting up numbers this good two years later. I for one have watched him play allot.

Maltby was a 50 goal scorer in juniors

As far as Mantha, I really don't see him projecting out as a power forward. Much better chance that Martin Frk becomes the Wings' power forward of the future than Mantha.

I'm hoping Jurco can be that guy for us.

Also, did you know Maltby was a 50-goal scorer in juniors?

I think that Frk and Jurco could be a good tandem and both live up to the power forward role. I can't wait for a Wings team that hopefully will have Nyquist, Jurco, Tatar, Mantha and Frk. I just hope that team still has Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Wishful thinking, but with a hopeful departure this summer for Cleary, Sammy, Tuzzi, Miller, Eaves, that leaves room for some top prospects to actually have a 1% chance of making the Wings out of camp, should they be the best player for the spot.

Crosby played in the Q, so did Mario Lemieux...
