He's already a better player than Bennett, to be honest, but he's got the kind of numbers Bennett had when he signed his deal (for which he is now overpaid).

Bennett has 8 goals in 43 games (0.19 G/GP)
Mangiapane has 13 goals in 59 games (0.22 G/GP)
I think they're very similar players that bring similar energy. The only thing that shifts the perception of their value? Expectations.
I like both players and would like to keep them around because they're both tremendous middle-six options.
