“Best Is Yet To Come” For Anthony Mantha

Dan Rosen of NHL.com answered a fan question about Anthony Mantha.

After his hot start, do you see Anthony Mantha as a 35-plus goal scorer?

I didn't need to see Mantha's hot start to know the Detroit Red Wings forward could be a 35-plus goal scorer. He scored 25 goals in 67 games last season. Extrapolate that over an 82-game season, and Mantha would have scored 30-31 goals. Now factor in the expected growth potential as a 25-year-old who is fully adjusted to the NHL, fully aware of what works for him, and I think it's fair to expect a bump in production provided he stays healthy.
