Don't understand the Mangiapane love at all. Reminds me a lot of Marty Murray. Not impressed by big time junior scorers unless they can do the same in the professional ranks. Have to see if this kid's skill set can translate to the pro ranks. Not sure how it does. Have to see some success against men before getting excited about another under sized player. There's a reason he was passed over in one draft and then was selected 166th in the next. Can't get excited over a player who statistically has a 15% chance of playing more than 50 NHL games.

Does Poirier have more than a 15% chance? Did Johnny?
No doubt the chances for Mangiapane are low, but they are low for all of the guys outside of the first round or so. I don't have Mangiapane particularly high, but I can see why guys would choose him.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
