Listening between the lines to an interview with the Stockton coach it doesn't sound like Mangiapane has earned a trip north. He damned him and his linemates with faint praise like "starting to figure it out/settle in" or something like that. He seemed to like Lazar a whole lot more.
If there were going to send Dube down they'd have done it before his contract kicked. And I don't think he has a confidence issue, he has a bad luck/close call issue. He's been right there for goals. If he does have a confidence issue I don't think a demotion will help.
