While Mangiapane had a great year last year, I feel like Poirier is more all-around.
Also, Mangiapane went in the 6th round for a reason. And it's not like he substantially increased his point totals after he was drafted. Great offensive upside, but still a few question marks. Still an outstanding prospects for where he was drafted. Can't wait to see what he can do in the AHL this year.
Poirier had a bad season last year, but his prior 2 seasons were nothing to overlook. I'm going with him.
