Mantha named CHL player of the week

Mantha named CHL player of the week

Hard to believe that he led his league in regular season scoring but only won the award once during the season.

Good article on Mantha in the Detroit News

Also I don't recall anyone mentioning it but Mantha was an honorable mention for HF's Prospect of the Year. I feel like they may have decided on that too early though, as his playoff run has been pretty amazing.

The author needs serious work on his grammar and syntax, or at the very least a competent editor.

#consistency

 

[Mijatovic]

Consistently not the best?

 

[Henkka]

Mantha was so damn consistent that those "Franzens" who are streaky scorers beat him every weak with their scoring peak and then disappeared.

Can Knights cool down hot Mantha?

Thought this was hilarious from Zadorov, hoping he eats his words very quickly.

I’m not playing against (Sidney) Crosby, you know, it’s just Anthony Mantha,

What does he know about playing against Crosby. He was sitting in the trainers room with a band-aid on his booboo when they played and a healthy scratch for half the games he was on the roster.

I like this stuff. I hope it motivates Mantha for when they meet.

Red Wings ranked at #3

[InjuredChoker]

wow, that's high. i like our kids a lot but there are more than 2 prospect pools i'd take above ours.

that said, i wouldn't be shocked if red wings kids collectively as a group end up being 3rd best when it's all said and done.

 

[r0bert8841]

Wow #3!!! I wasn't expecting higher than 9. Even with losing Nyquist, Tatar, Jarnkrok, and Dekeyser.

 

[19 for president]

I think they are probably a bit overrated at 3, but typically underrated because we don't have any fancy big name prospects typically. The success of Nyquist/ Tatar/ Sheahan/Jurco/ Glenny at the NHL level gave the system extra shine, and getting Mantha gave the Wings the blue chip prospect for everyone to talk about. The Wings have the it prospect system right now. If anything our prospect system was better last spring before the 3 grads. I also sort of feel like there is a bias against AHL prospects in these rankings. Thus a system like the Wings is usually underappreciated even though we have guys dominating that league.

Red Wings ranked at #3

Wow, that's quite unexpected. I'd have us in the top 10 but closer to 10 than 1.

I guess they're really high on Mantha & when considering the defensive/forward depth we ended up doing pretty good.

 

[Kronwalled55]

If I had to re-rank that top 10, I would go.

1. Tampa Bay
2. New York Islanders
3. Buffalo
4. Columbus
5. Detroit
6. Calgary
7. Montreal
8. Chicago
9. Anaheim
10. Dallas

 

[InjuredChoker]

haha, rundblad still counts as a prospect. man has he fallen off.

also had totally forgotten that we signed colin campbell.

 

[Chex LeMeneux]

I love the fact that our prospect pool is getting some respect, but that #3 ranking is kind of confusing. We lose Tatar, Nyquist and Dekeyser to graduation and go up 6 places on the rankings? That seems a little off to me.

Others have had their own graduations as well...

 

[Pavels Dog]

We have sick depth, I think #3 is a fair position. We have so many guys that could possibly handle the jump to the NHL next season that it's starting to look ridiculous.

 

[Chex LeMeneux]

Touche. It's good to see our prospect pool validated this way and by an independent source no less. It's just a little surprising is all

 

[Chance on Chance]

Seems high but where do people rank just our D pool compared to everyone else?
