Mantha is going to be one hell of an nhl player. Count on it. Nichushkin is the last player drafted that rivals him. From 10-18 every GM would trade their pick for Mantha and they would do it with a smile.
He had 57 goals and 63 assists for 120 points in 57 games.
In the playoffs he played 24 games, had 24 goals and thirteen assists. He carried his team to win the QMJHL championship.
In comparison Claude Giroux had 112 points in 07 and 106 points in 08. I'm not saying Mantha will be better than Claude Giroux, but I would bet a lot of money that he will be one heck of a player for Detroit for a long time.
If I worked for Detroit I sure as hell wouldn't trade him for Bo Horvat.
