Run the Jewels
Make Detroit Great Again
Mantha was a dog out there. Either hungover or not interested in being there. No way he makes the team to start the season. Larkin was realgud. Very impressed with him.
I wouldn't read too much into his performance in one scrimmage. Both him and Bertuzzi seem not to be on top of their games due to long playoff runs for both of them. I remember there was talk of Mantha being traded last season since his team wasn't believed to be a playoff contender. Funny how that ended up working out! He carried them, Malik acknowledged he would routinely take 90 second - 2 minute shifts at Val d'Or, which will never happen again.
Most of these guys haven't even started skating again, I'd be worried about him burning out if he came into this prospect camp on top of his game. Let him rest up, recover and then prepare for training camp.
