## Resource

Anthony Mantha delivered career-best stats last season with 33 goals and 64 points, making him a tempting reunion target for the Penguins—but at 33, he’s coming off his peak and could demand a big payday. GM Kyle Dubas faces a tough call: re-signing him on a short-term deal could provide scoring and veteran leadership without locking in long-term risk, but a high price tag or reduced ice time for younger players could backfire. The key is discipline—Mantha might be a useful bridge piece if the market cools, but Pittsburgh shouldn’t overpay.
