Right wing Anthony Mantha said he was informed by the Golden Knights he will not be re-signed when he hits free agency July 1, according to a report from French-language outlet RDS.
Mantha, while at a golf event hosted by New York Islanders forward Julien Gauthier, told RDS he will have to find a new home after being dealt by the Washington Capitals prior to the NHL’s trade deadline.
The Knights declined to comment.
The team acquired Mantha on March 5 from the Capitals for a 2024 second-round pick and a 2026 fifth-round pick. The 29-year-old was in the final season of a four-year, $22.8 million contract he signed with the Detroit Red Wings in November 2020. Mantha was then traded to Washington in April 2021.
Mantha had 10 points in 18 regular-season games with the Knights following the trade. He appeared in the first three games of the their opening-round playoff series against the Dallas Stars, but was a healthy scratch for the final four.
