I think this kid needs his own fresh thread. He's lighting it up right now and is a bright spot on an otherwise uninspired team. 13 points (7 goals) in 21 games this season with a +9. But lately, he's really on fire, with 7 points in his last 5 games.
Dotter posed a question in another thread:
And I think that's a great question. Mantha went at #20 in the draft in 2013. Some players on that list are still developing, like Mantha, but I think it's fair to say he'd probably closer to top 10 these days. Obviously a #10 pick like Nichushkin slides significantly, whereas someone like Max Domi moves up like Mantha.

But where would you all consider Mantha would be picked in a re-draft knowing what we know now?
