IF Huberdeau bounces back (because of Mantha), we should try to keep Mantha on a shorter term deal (3yrs or less).

If some team wants to give us a pick for paying $2.2M, let them have at it. Just keep rolling the dice to find the next six Manthas as time goes on and this contract can mercifully end. It is a pretty good loss mitigation strategy.
