Option 2:
If we base this all on performance during last season there are few takes I could go with. Either Mänty just sucks and his game doesn't just translate well to more narrow ice used in north america or it could be that whatever system was run by the team during most of the regular season sucks. Or there is the option tht system is good yet Mänty didn't manage to learn it which could pose a problem for him should he be traded. But as his build is quite balance, though slightly geared towards offensive play that seems to be favored by so many around the SMJHL.

Though I'm confident that Mänty has the skills to get used to new system quite easily and I think change of tactics made on Grizzlies show that too as he has already seemd like a different player during the first round of playoffs, hopefully stepping up to one more level once we take the games to Vancouver.
