## Resource

Anthony Mantha’s free agency is heating up—but for all the right reasons: he just had his best season ever, lighting up the Penguins with 33 goals and 64 points. Yet teams are hesitant, wary of signing a high-scoring winger to a long-term deal. With solid career stats (360+ points in 590+ games), Mantha’s breakout might be viewed as a fluke—or the start of something bigger. Teams like Boston, Montreal, and Philly all covet his scoring punch, but they’re likely eyeing short-term contracts to test the fit. If Mantha’s willing to compromise on length, he’ll find a home fast. If not? He’s in for a wait. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
