Mangiapane is a better player than Bennett based on awareness and the ability to use his linemates. He was the obvious choice to invest in because he has the hockey smarts to enhance the players around him as well as benefit from them himself.

As someone in this thread not so long ago, Bennett is the classic all the tools, no toolbox player. Doesn't think or see the game well enough to bring it all together. That's why Mangiapane is a top 6 player and Bennett is not.
