Based on in the same time frame, Lindholm is the best goalscorer on the team. And, after him, Tkachuk.
Mangiapane has outperformed his draft position. But it's just as disengenous to pretend Monahan has linemates equal to Gaudreau's, either in pedigree, or in past performance, or in expectations going forward. Mangiapane has, in fact, sagged a bit over the last month and a half. His March was way off what his February was (and that was prior to the line change).
