Obviously I would rather get someone like Forsburg from the Predators but the price might be lower to get Mantha. Though it would still likely not be cheap to acquire him since Detroit would have offers from other teams and would likely not be in any rush to move him.

Mantha could make a lot of sense. He's off to a bad start with Detroit, and surely they would entertain a shakeup. He's a lethal sniper and a big body, similar to Ferland, just not very physical. He attacks with speed and uses his size offensively.
It's only getting more and more painfully obvious that we need a 1RW. Mantha is a left shot but plays the RW.
