Mangipane had a great AHL season and I think he could be good but he looked lost when in the NHL. I know he didn't get much of a chance but Kapanen at worst could be a quality energy player and PK guy even if his scoring doesn't translate to the NHL

I actually thought that Mangipane looked good in his first two games up, and then not so much when he was playing on the 4th line with Brouwer (or maybe they moved Brouwer up? Cant Recall). I definitely think that its going to be hard for Mangipane to force his way onto the team getting 4th line minutes to start. If he dosen't pencil himself into the top 2 lines after training camp, I think hes probably going to get sent down for another year in the A. I think Foo is RW guy that has a chance to grab a 3-4th line role after training camp, and could have some impact in the bottom end of the roster.
