Penguins must decide on Anthony Mantha amid upcoming free agency

The Pittsburgh Penguins face a decision regarding Anthony Mantha, a free agent, as the NHL's free agency period opens. Reports indicate that Mantha could command a four-year contract worth $24 million. After proving himself with a career-high 33 goals and 64 points last season, he is viewed as an impactful addition for any team. However, concerns linger after his lackluster playoff performance this past season. With the Penguins having recently re-signed Evgeni Malkin, the franchise's approach to Mantha remains a key point of focus as free agency begins.
