The NHL trade deadline for the 2016-17 season is still three months away, however, that doesn’t mean that teams aren’t ready to pull the trigger on deals already, including the Detroit Red Wings.
According to My NHL Trade Rumors.com, the Anaheim Ducks are reportedly interested in making a deal for Anthony Mantha. Mantha, who was drafted 20th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, was a 50 goal plus scoring machine two years in a row for the Val d’Or Foreurs junior hockey team in 2012 and 2013.
Mantha has seven goals in nine games so far this season with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Detroit’s AHL team.
