Detroit Red Wings forward Anthony Mantha discusses his communication with coach Jeff Blashill this season. Recorded Tuesday, April 10.
A bridge deal made sense for the Detroit Red Wings and Anthony Mantha.
Mantha was signed Wednesday to a two-year contract with a $3.3 million salary cap hit per year. Mantha led the Wings last season with 24 goals. A first-round pick from 2013, Mantha is considered one of the key pieces of the rebuild. At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, he is one of the team’s biggest players, and he’s shown encouraging growth in his effort during the past two seasons.
