Mangiapane had 9 goals and 17 points in his last 19 games of the regular season. That's pretty much from about the time they put him in the top 6 with Backlund and Tkachuk.
The guy is a player, no one is denying that. If they keep him, great. But he could also be used as a valuable trade chip too, for something else the Flames need because they are deep on left shot wingers.
