"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Wow... this would be pretty crazy.
Esp - given Yzerman gave Mantha 4yrs back in November.
I've got to believe that Washington didn't like the extension terms that Vrana's agent was asking...
And I've got to believe that Yzerman sees Vrana as a better fit for Detroit than Mantha.
I do think Vrana has better scoring tool-kit.
We'll see what number the Wings can get him at.

Mantha is an injury risk, but was on pace for 72 points last year in an 82-game season, and on pace for 60ish the year before.

There is a non-zero chance that Mantha isn't even an upgrade on Vrana, just has had more opportunity.JFresh @JFreshHockey 46s
Don't sleep on Jakub Vrana.
5v5 points in the past three seasons combined
Mantha: 152 GP, 28G, 27A, 65 points (0.42 points per game)
Vrana: 190 GP, 53G, 43A, 96 points (0.50 points per game)
Great haul for Stevie Y!

Deadline day is now complete. No one saw this one coming.
Det needs, well, everything. Mantha gives them a known financial piece with ovie doe his next deal.
agree that Vrana has the better offensive tool-kit.
that said, Mantha hasn't hit his breakout threshold yet so there's more upside to come with him.
This is a really intriguing deal.

Holy cow... a 1st AND a 2nd... wow, wow, wow.
Great haul by Stevie Y.
I mean, Detroit's nowhere near competing... so it makes no sense to hope that Mantha is still a good player 4 years from now at age 30.
Makes a tad bit of sense for Washington.
They are like the Bulls... having their last dance.
Might as well put all the assets in with OV in his final years...
The top 16 teams are revved up for these playoffs.
Awesome.
I'm glad the Flyers bailed... cause they got ZERO shot trying to compete with NYI,WAS,BOS,PIT.
That is an insane return. Well done Det.

I would be interested in seeing the model you're using where a player who is 26 with 300 GP hasn't hit their breakout threshold yet. Mantha (and Vrana for that matter) are who they are. Vrana probably is going to get a lot more points than he currently has to this point in career due to significantly more opportunity, rather than any increased development.
