He's #2 behind AA right now.
Both AA and Mantha should be on the team right now.

Call them both up. Waive joker.
So a big body winger who can skate, and set up teammates has no value as a call-up?
I don't mind letting Mantha develop in the AHL right now, but cherry-picking just goals to make your point when he's playing good otherwise is deceiving.
Pretty sure this math is off.Last season, he scored 15G, 18A for 33 pts in 62 games. .532 PPG
this season, if he continues the same pace and plays ALL the remaining games on the schedule, he will finish with 10G, 32A 42pts in 71 games .591 PPG which would only marginally be better than last season and down from a goal scoring perspective.
Last season he scored 15 goals and 18 assists in the AHL and management came out and publicly called his season disappointing, but noted it was his first taste of pro hockey.
He is now on pace for what 10 goals this season.... Are you going to tell me that if he finishes the year with 10, 11, 12, or even 15 goals again, that it was a success?

I don't see Mantha getting a call up until he is near PPG territory with the goals coming a lot more often than they are this season. Mantha's shooting % is way low though, so hopefully that isn't sustainable and he starts potting a few more as the season goes on. if not, I hope the Wings PR folks better do a better job keeping the cameras out of Jimmy D's office this season.
Yeah, not even close to the right math. He had .53 ppg last year and if he keeps up his current pace, he would end this season with 54 points in 71 games which is .76 ppg. That is a good jump for a second year player and it includes a terrible start.
Mantha scored just over a minute into the 2nd
Mantha scores again
Thank god it wasn't a power play goal.Good thing Manthas finally getting some points that count.
Russo rebound deflected off his stomach or arm and went in. Stopped on a breakaway the following shift.

Good for Mantha. Hopefully this is his breakout party.
hmm looked like he got the first one with his stick a bit before it crossed the line.
He put it in with his stick, and he scored on a breakaway later in the game so that redeems the failed one. Overall he's finally getting the stats to match his play which has been stellar all season without the points coming though like they should be. Mantha is still probably our best prospect (ignoring Larkin who is no longer a prospect by most standards) except maybe Svech...who is close.
