Penguins Working On Deal With Anthony Mantha

July 1, 2025 at 12:45 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 8 Comments

The Penguins are working on a contract for UFA winger Anthony Mantha, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports.

As expected, Pittsburgh is operating around the fringes during this free agency period. Mantha is coming off a down season with the Calgary Flames, scoring only three goals and seven points in 13 games before having his season cut short by injuring his ACL and requiring surgery.

Still, he’s only one season removed from having a quality year between the Washington Capitals and Vegas Golden Knights. During the 2023-24 campaign, Mantha scored 20 goals and 34 points in 56 games with the Capitals, before scoring another three goals and 10 points in 10 games with the Golden Knights after being moved at that season’s trade deadline.

If the Penguins promote some of their younger players to more significant roles next season, Mantha will provide stability at the lower end of their forward lineup. If players like Rutger McGroarty and Ville Koivunen struggle with the increased ice time, Mantha will likely be allowed to play in the team’s top six.

Already 30 years old, Mantha could find far worse centers to play next to than Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. By happenstance, Mantha could have a quality rebound season next to two of the game’s most prominent players, and look to capitalize on that financially next offseason.

    So the Pens and Bruins really are in a race to play the “Who gets the #1 pick in 2026?” game.

    Honestly, a better player than I thought we’d get today. Hopefully a cheap one year deal that can be moved for a second round pick in March.

      He’ll dazzle you for 2 or 3 shifts and take rest of the year off

      I saw him get traded for a 2nd (and a 4th).
