Mangiapane is driving elite advanced metrics right now and has since the start of last year.
He’s easily been the best play driver on the Flames going back to the start of last season and whatever line he is on immediately sees a bump.
And he’s producing consistently too.
Since the start of last season he’s producing at 2.06 points per 60 at 5v5, that’s first on the team. Better than Gaudreau, better than Tkachuk, better than everyone. That also ranks him 74th in the NHL during this time.
Sam Bennett produces at 1.07 P/60 at 5v5 in that same time, so no it’s not that close.
He’s a legitimate 200ft player who makes his linemates better, and if he was getting PP1 ice time his production would probably look a lot more impressive.
People around the NHL are starting to notice too

According to those guys he’s the best play driver in the ENTIRE NHL this season so far.
