Reigning Stanley Cup champions the Vegas Golden Knights added more depth to their roster as they prepare to embark on another deep playoff run. They acquired veteran forward Anthony Mantha in a trade with the Washington Capitals, confirming the move on Tuesday.

According to the announcement, Vegas gave up a second-round pick in 2024 and a 2026 fourth-rounder to get Mantha.

The Athletic reports that the deal between Vegas and Capitals will see Washington retaining 50% of Mantha’s salary. Mantha is set to earn $5.7 million in 2023-24. This is significant for the Golden Knights as they will be able to make more additions before the trade deadline wraps up.

Golden Knights have been on the market for an offensive-minded addition since losing captain Mark Stone to a season-ending injury. Stone suffered a lacerated spleen in February and has been placed on a long-term injured reserve.

Mantha made his NHL debut with the Detroit Red Wings during the 2015–16 season. He spent five and a half years with the franchise before being traded to the Capitals midway through the 2020-21 campaign. This season, Mantha has 20 goals and 14 assists for a total of 34 points in 56 games.

Vegas Golden Knights are currently sitting third in the Pacific Division with a 33-22-7 record and 73 points. They are currently holding onto a wild-card spot but have Nashville Predators and LA Kings breathing down their neck.

Detroit Red Wings’ rebuild just got a significant boost as the team managed to lock star forward Anthony Mantha to a long-term deal.

Red Wings announced on Tuesday that they have signed Mantha to a new four-year contract that will keep him with the franchise through 2023/24. This is the first deal longer than two years that Detroit’s general manager Steve Yzerman handed out during his tenure.

Reportedly, Mantha’s new deal will net him $5.7 million annually and $22.8 million in the next four years.

“Everyone knows we’re in a rebuilding phase,” said Mantha after inking the extension. “Him signing me to a four-year deal also tells me he sees me as part of the future of the team, part of the guys that are going to help the team win, and that is the pressure that comes with it.”

Anthony Mantha has been a star in the making for Red Wings ever since making his NHL debut during the 2016/17 NHL seasons. Although he has some struggles with injuries, Mantha managed to keep consistent productions and already has 173 points (84 goals and 89 assists) in 260 career NHL appearances.

Red Wings now hope that he can take a step further next season and firmly establish himself as one of their key players. If this happens, there is no doubt that Detroit will soon have a competitive NHL team once again.
