Penguins forward Anthony Mantha positioned for significant contract this summer
Summary

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Anthony Mantha is set to enter unrestricted free agency after a strong 2025-26 season. In 81 games, Mantha achieved career highs with 33 goals, 31 assists, and 64 points. He signed a one-year contract last off-season, and his performance has heightened his value ahead of free agency. As one of this year’s top UFAs, Mantha's successful regular season positions him well for a lucrative new deal, whether with the Penguins or another team. The next steps will involve negotiations as he seeks an increased salary.
