The Detroit Red Wings should hold onto Anthony Mantha. Period.
Last week, Mantha was a healthy scratch, sending speculation all over the place. It also revealed a deeper divide in the fanbase where many don’t feel as if Mantha is the player he should be. There were many calls for him to be traded.
Now national writers are weighing in and indicating that Mantha might not reach his full potential with Detroit.
