REGULAR SEASON
PLAYOFFS
When you look at this team all you really have to notice is Anthony Mantha. Not saying somebody else on this team couldn't emerge as an NHL player, but Mantha is already a highly rated prospect. Detroit once again makes a steal at the 20th overall pick.
He has the height at 6'5 to fit in nicely on a Detroit team built around speed and skill. If he adds a little weight he could be a great presence up front to go along with the European type forward. Of course Detroit is well known for letting players develop so he is certainly looking at a stay in the AHL. His play will determine how quickly he moves up. With the way Detroit does things he seems likely to be in the AHL for at least a full season. I also highly doubt he can keep the same scoring pace.
57 regular season games - 57 goals
24 playoff games - 24 goals
52 penalty minutes in the playoffs isn't too bad either. If he can keep up that physical presence he could be a fun player to watch in the future.
