Mangiapane has very good numbers through a season and a half. He seems to make those around him better when it comes to driving a line. His five on five production at 1.94/60 is 97th league wide in the last two seasons, suggesting he's an elite second liner.
Is he though?
Sample size is the sticking point for sure.
But the team had better make sure anyone trading for Mangiapane sees him as that elite 2nd liner and pays accordingly, or don't move him.

Are there even teams interested in trading much for him? He scored 17 goals last season which is notable but he's a small unheralded player that's probably not on the radar of many teams that probably have similar prospects on their own teams. I feel most teams would be much more interested in Dube.
