Devils Land Former Red Wing On Bargain Deal After Career-Year, Leaving Hockeytown Wondering What Might Have Been
Anthony Mantha signed a two-year, $9.5 million contract with the New Jersey Devils after posting a career-high 33 goals and 31 assists in 81 games with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mantha, a former Red Wings first-round pick who spent six seasons in Detroit before being traded to Washington in 2021, has since played for Vegas, Calgary, and Pittsburgh. Some in Detroit had hoped the Red Wings would pursue Mantha as a free agent to add scoring depth, though the Devils secured him instead on what the article characterizes as a "high-value" deal.
