Anthony Manthas Transformative Season: A Bargain Free Agent Pickup

Last summer, the Pittsburgh Penguins signed Anthony Mantha to a one-year, $2.5 million contract. Despite his middling track record, Mantha has become a star this season, on pace for career highs with 25 goals and 51 points. The deal includes performance bonuses, with Mantha already earning an extra $1.5 million. If he plays in 14 of the Penguins final 16 games, he could hit $4.5 million. Mantha, a 64 forward, drives play without much help from stars like Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. He gets about 15 minutes of ice time per game, split evenly between offensive and defensive zones, with only 11 power-play points. Despite Crosbys absence for 10 games after the Olympics, Mantha has 5 goals and 9 points. As a 31-year-old unrestricted free agent this summer, Manthas stock is rising fast.
