As the season progresses, the trade deadline approaches and the rumors start to increase. In the Habs organization , the two most mentioned names are Joel Edmundson and Josh Anderson, but there are also interesting players from other teams. We think of Alexis Lafrenière, Brock Boeser and now Anthony Mantha. The big guy from the Capitals was linked to the CH a while ago, but there has been no news in that sense. However, the Quebecer may well be on the trade market, as he no longer seems to be in the good graces of his coach in Washington. Indeed, Mantha was left out against the Blue Jackets on Sunday. It is understandable when it is a young player to whom the coach wants to send a message. At 28 years of age, Mantha is now a veteran and this decision has caused a lot of discussion. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/rmnb/status/1612106576403251207?t=olEoFul6JlumZxson47Bkw&s=19'> </a></blockquote></div> Are the Caps in talks and waiting to trade Mantha? Is he in the same position as Evgenii Dadonov or Mike Hoffman with the Habs? We'll know soon enough, but one thing is for sure, the rumors are getting louder and louder about him.
