So let's trade the best center on the team instead of a winger of which we have 3 better of. Okie dokie.
Trade Gaidreau then if you really really think mangiapane can do more while making less. You don't subtract established top 6 centers. You add to them.
And this is exactly why I hate fancy stats. Nothing but mirages.

What is "fancy" about what I'm saying there?
Andrew Mangiapane faces tough competition.
Andrew Mangiapane had 17 even strength goals while playing below 14 minutes a night.
There's nothing fancy being touted here. They are basic stats and a simplistic comparison of production vs. ice time.
Sean Monahan had a bad season, and the top line struggled significantly and again let us down in the playoffs during 5v5 play. We can dance around that all we want, but until you improve that, the issue will persist. So even if we keep Monahan, why would we trade Mangiapane for Reinhart when Mangiapane is the better player? Because Reinhart is a RHS? Well, that's a moronic idea.
