Mantha started the 2023-24 season with the Washington Capitals, but was traded to the Vegas Golden Knights near the deadline. In a combined 76 games, he scored 23 goals and 44 points.
This is a solid deal for the Flames, as AFPAnalytics projected Mantha to sign a three-year contract with an AAV of roughly $4.8 million. The one-year deal also means that the Flames could move him at the deadline if they are out of a playoff spot. The 29-year-old netted a second and and fourth-round pick when dealt at this year’s deadline.
