I have said a few times that I never had much faith in Mangiapane becoming an NHLer. And I have already stated how wrong I was on that. But it isn't just the talent level... what I find surprising, and fantastic, and I never imagined would be the case, is how feisty he plays. I mean, he's never going to be a power forward or anything, but he competes. He competes hard, every shift. And that raises the level of play of his line-mates.

I think he can become a really effective 2nd liner.
