This makes me very sad

[BottleOfSmoke 5,965]

I'm not...horrified...by this.

As long as it's in the right package.

At deadline, DET unwilling to move either first round pick or prospect Anthony Mantha. Now willing to deal either or both.

Btw, if Wings had been willing to move Mantha at trade deadline, Dion Phaneuf would have become a Red Wing.

I wonder if since Blashill has more of a say now, he made it clear the Mantha wasn't the prospect we thought. He would know him the best of anyone in the organization.

[Richdg 267]

Anyone, yes anyone can be traded in the right deal. It is all about the return.

The proposed deal, btw, was Phaneuf for Weiss, Smith and Mantha. DET didn't want to surrender Mantha at that time.

[Nevermind 363]

What would you guys think of a deal revolving around Mantha and Ryan Ellis? Nashville already has Weber and Jones on the right side, and they don't really have another high-end young forward after Forsberg.

I'd also be interested in Sami Vatanen from Anaheim, but I don't think they'd give him up for Mantha.

[marcaractac 3,963]

6 months ago I'd like like nooooooooooo. But with how quickly Larkin is coming along, and the emergence of guys like Little Bert, all is well if it is for the right piece. Gonna be an interesting summer for sure!

[DatsyukianDekes 2,428]

Cox is really not a reliable source. Would like to see a better source report this, like MacKenzie first.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

Ha.

This makes Jimmy ds comments seem like they may have came at the worst time.

elliott friedman also confirmed it. Very reliable source there.

Maybe they'll whip up a package including Mantha and our first to try and get the Yote's first rounder

[Motown4013 350]

We have a glaring gap for a 1-2 D man and a second line power forward ( a " What Weiss was supposed to be")

If Mantha can be part of the bait that brings a legit defenseman here, I think this team is closer to a contending team than most would think.

Exactly. What's that song by The Smiths? "Bigmouth Strikes Again".

[krsmith17 7,191]

I don't want to trade Mantha, but in the right deal I would for sure. Our 2015 1st round pick, Mantha, Ouellet / Marchenko for a top 4 defenseman...

Package to Colorado for Erik Johnson, to Winnipeg for Jacob Trouba, or to Carolina for Justin Faulk... Absolutely.

[Helmethead 235]

If Kenny is giving up Mantha and a 1st can't he do better than Phaneuf? I hope so.

[marcaractac 3,963]

Well, we could have probably had Phaneuf without the first. Ideally Mantha and the 1st gets us a top dman. If not, use a Mantha package for Dion and still have a first to play with.

A first and mantha for Phaneuf and his 7 million cap hit even now we'd get f***ed

I don't pay attention to anything damian cox says .... And for everyone who's thinking mantha is a bust bnd is willing to part with him should really thank twice .... Mantha came in missing camp and a bunch of games, it's wayyyyyyyyyyyy to soon to say he's a bust and be ok with trading a big man who can shoot

It's just ridiculous

[Rivalred 630]

Guess we shall see how this plays out

[number9 3,297]

Cox is a TERRIBLE source. So most likely you can forget all this, bc kennys not going to do anything.

[Helmethead 235]

I still believe Mantha gets this season to see what he can do with a full training camp and being healthy. I can't see Kenny giving up on him already.

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

Everyone's just willing to give up on him cause he didn't score 50 goals in 50 games .... We need to see him play a full season next year before trading him off

[number9 3,297]

manthas not a bust yet. This is just media drumming up stories

[nyqvististhefuture 1,002]

I don't want to trade Mantha, but in the right deal I would for sure. Our 2015 1st round pick, Mantha, Ouellet / Marchenko for a top 4 defenseman...

I'd only consider it if winnipeg gave us trouba which won't happen with big buff being a ufa after next year

Mantha ouellet and the 19th pick which could be a good pick or turn into 2 good picks if be trade back is a big price

Again ... Mantha needs to play a full season in Grand Rapids before making anything we could very well regret

It's also been on CBC.

No. We are just reasonable and can accept giving him up if it addresses a team need, like a top pairing Dman.
