I actually "woah'd" out loud when I first saw them back

 

[Alawishis]

any relation to Anthony?

My first thought was is he related to Moe ?

Turns out he is:
"His father, Moe Mantha, played over 600 NHL games, including 25 for Edmonton."

I thought they said Moe was his uncle?

sweet

can never have enough RHD in the system...captain, has offense

I like the low-risk, high reward move

Isn't Bob his uncle?

 

[snipes]

Big RHD prospect, I like it. Our cupboards are getting stocked with quality young D prospects, good low risk signing.

 

[Oil In My Veins]

Bob's your uncle

Who is they? The article I linked says Moe is his dad.

Looks like Zach Aston-Reese is the top college free agent this year. Hope Chia could snag him as well

He Is the top college free agent forward by most accounts and Daniel Brickley is the top dman.

 

[Tom Collins]

Watched him a bit this year. Skating is only real major concern to me.

Offensive tools, physicality and leadership are the big positives.

Free prospects have worked out very well for us lately.

Sort of a Gryba-type with offensive upside?

Proof I need more coffee: Didn't notice until I read this post.

 

[Tom Collins]

Does this make up for the loss of our 2nd rounder?
I think so.

Undoubtedly.

Chiarelli knows what he is doing. Sometimes I don't, but that's also why I don't get paid to follow the team.

Our D prospect pool is pretty complete now. We got a great mix of everything.
Lefties (Jones, Reinhart, Ostertle, Lagesson, Paigin, Simpson) vs righties (Bear, Mantha, Marino).
Offensive D (Bear, Mantha, osterle) vs 2 way (Jones, Marino, Paigin) vs defensive D (Reinhart, Simpson, Lagesson)

Wide variety of size too.

Not sure who it will be, but I have a feeling we have a top pairing or #3 in that crop above

Missing Filip Berglund

Missing Filip Berglund

Ahh yes him, I knew I was forgetting someone. Righty with size and offense

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Going to first period or 2 of Dogs game tonight. I'll report on Mantha after.

sweet, I might have to try and watch it too

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Only stayed for the first period. He got in a fight early and destroyed his opponent. Great shots, positioning and poise on the powerplay. Awful backchecking and play in his own end. The first Kitchener goal was all on him.

Why did you leave?

Why did you leave?

Took my wife tonight, but she works early in the morning and was too tired to keep going.

The Ice Dogs suck this year. Give him a break.

Still fun to watch. Some great young talent on that team including Akil Thomas. Easily a 1st rounder in 2018
