Healthy scratch isn't so bad, people make the big deal about it but with a young player it happens, even in the AHL. I remember TJ Brodie with the couple healthy nights in the press box, in the minors.
Beyond that Mantha had a broken leg to start the season. Not going to widely speculate here but if it is off ice issues I'd take a chance on him regardless. Big scoring talent. Needs to work on his skating and own end play, but what big guy coming out of juniors doesn't.
