I don't think much of mangiapanne as an NHLer but I think he has surpassed Lazar at this point.

I like the idea that you could call up mangiapanne in the playoffs to play 7 minutes a night and you can be reasonably sure he won't burn you in those 7 minutes. He may be lacking top end output that sees him cement an NHL role for himself, but he has the dependability you want in a callup playing 4th line minutes.

Even though he plays hard, I don't know if you can say the same about Lazar.
