How Good Will Anthony Mantha Become?

[whata beauty]

He had 8+7 in the last 8 games last year and 6+2 in the first 4 this year. He’s really starting to come into his own and realize his potential. 6’4”, strong, unreal shot, soft hands, very fast for his size, very underrated vision too. His line with Larkin and Bertuzzi has been very hard to contain. Obviously he’ll slow down but he’s a special talent. If he can learn to be consistent and move his feet he can be one of the better goal scorers in the league

He's one tier above the Matthews/Scheifle/Monahan/Panarin tier, but below the McDavid/Kucherov tier, so he's essentially in the Draisaitl/Kane/MacKinnon tier.

This one made my face twist up like I had just eaten an entire lemon... I love the guy, but this doesn’t seem an accurate statement at all?!

starting to think a 40/40 season is very possible

starting to think a 40/40 season is very possible

i dont know man. it just takes one little cold streak of say 10 games, which he is known for (and every goal scorer is) and its very tough to get to 80 points then. 40 assists seems a bit too high, he has good vision and is a solid passer, but i would measure him in the goals department.

If he gets 40 this year, I'd be ecstatic. He is fully capable of doing so, dont get me wrong, but 2 years ago he started the season superhot, with ppg after the first 22 games or so. Then he cooled off in such a brutal fashion that he didn't even hit 50 points. I hope he will be a bit more consistent, and being on a line that will stay together should help. I expect at least 30 to 35 goals, everything above that mark and he can be considered one of the best goal scorers in the league.

We wings fan should lower our expectations with him a bit, and then be super happy when he surpasses them. 60 to 65 points this campaign along with 30 to 35 goals would be a very succesful season and a huge step in his development. He is kind of a late bloomer, so i dont think these stats would be his ceiling.

honestly he could challenge gretzky’s records hes the single best hockey player ive ever seen in my entire life

 

[Sweetpotato]

He'll be a very good player. Think a James Neal type of weapon that explodes with elite centers.

 

[Brownies]

Man is he more and more reminding me of Eric Dazé, who was really good when not injured.

 

[yegoldboysclub]

He will be better than Marner and Matthews, probably not as good as Draisatl

He will be better than mcdavid

Wow, talk about underrating the guy.

In all seriousness, he looks like he will be a threat to score 30 goals every season during his prime and make big plays along the boards to establish possession which is something the Wings have desperately needed lately. I'm not going to call him a 40 goal scorer until he does it, but it is certainly possible if he can keep up his play.

9 games? You better go back to last season, and then watch the WC then.

I am. He’s been hot since late March, but since this isn’t baseball, there hasn’t been much hockey since then. Before that was very streaky.
I don’t buy on a streaky player after a small sample size. If 10, 15, 20 games from now he’s still putting up a point a night, I’ll reevaluate.

I not very often watch nhl, my internet is too slow, so i have not an opinion about him. But i belive you
