Mantha Set for NHL Free Agency After 33-Goal Penguins Breakout

After a career-high 33 with the Penguins, he is expected to hit free agency, which means every GM with cap space will pretend they “like the fit” while secretly doing the math in the back room. Pittsburgh got the production, but now it has to watch one of its hottest finishers walk into the open market and see what the bidding gets to.
