Jankowski plays C, and has 3 times the NHL experience to evaluate him on. Plus, like you said, he plays a special team which Mangiapane doesn't, at least he hasn't so far (though he probably has at least a PK skillset). It's also arguable that Mangiapane fed off of Ryan a lot, while Jankowski had the black hole of Neal on his wing (and Bennett who really only shone after the regular season).
If anything, Jankowski's $1.675 as a comparable drives Mangiapane's value down a bit IMO.
