Despite winning 5-1 in Vancouver last weeks, the Caps have been underperforming so far and they definitely need to shake things up in their locker room. The Canucks on the other hand, have Brock Boeser, whose agent has started calling around to see if he could find a potential trade partner for his client.
Anthony Mantha is a 6'5'' and 235 pounds forward that certainly brings a different aspect to the game than Boeser. He's proven in the past that he could score and just like our own right winger, he's struggled so far this year.
Cap wise, there isn't much difference between the two, but Mantha will be a UFA a year before Boeser. With the team's recent success (eight wins in the last 11 games), would it make sens to pursue a playoff spot and making a move for a big veteran?
