Forward Anthony Mantha said the Vegas Golden Knights informed him he won't be re-signed, according to TSN.

Instead, he will enter free agency after playing out the four-year, $22.8 million contract he signed in 2020.

The Golden Knights acquired Mantha from the Washington Capitals at the 2024 trade deadline.

He tallied 10 points (three goals, seven assists) in 18 games with Vegas after posting 34 points (20 goals, 14 assists) in 56 games for Washington in 2023-24.

Mantha, who turns 30 in September, has notched 296 points (142 goals, 154 assists) in 494 games with the Detroit Red Wings, Capitals and Golden Knights. Detroit drafted the Quebec native in the first round (20th overall) in 2013.
