If one is really playing lights out, then you can re-evaluate and send someone down if they start sitting.
The problem though, at least in this case, is that Mangiapane is a top 2 line F. Who does he displace to the press box when he comes into a game?

Unless you believe he would learn better playing 4th line minutes...which i think most would agree isnt exactly playing to his strengths.
