Mantha has played at a 49 pt pace for his entire career. He had 44 pts in 74 games last year. Guys who put up 45 pts a year are paid $5M+, not $3M. Backlund is a career 44 pt per season, for comparison.
Not only was this a good, value signing, but we are going to trade him for free assets. It was a great signing by Conroy. Period. And all we are going to hear all year is complaints about him.
