I'm with this crowd. Mangiapane is still as close to being pushed out than breaking out.
That said I like his effort level, and wouldn't be too worried about term if the price is low enough. Mangiapane might bite on a pretty cheap contract if you dangle for example a 4 year guaranteed NHL paycheck in front of him.
