Betting on him to be a 60 point player is quite the interesting, likely bad bet.
The reason Mangiapane looks so good is because he is so good. His rates put him among the very elite 2nd liners in the NHL already and he's likely to get better.
Even at his current 5v5 production, his contract is an absolute steal.

He is a really good player on a good contract but his .47 ppg puts him in 187 spot among NHL forwards with more than 40 games ...
The first 93 players are #1 line players the second 93 94-186 and Magniapane is the #1 3rd line scorer by ppg in whole league.
Backlund at .64 ppg sits at #107 and could be considered among the elite 2nd liners.
