Posted this in the game thread but makes sense here too.
Mangiapane has produced as a top 30 forward in the NHL at 5v5 the last two seasons. Easily a top 6 forward and no team should have a concern if he's on your top line.

At 5V5 here is Mangiapane's team rank over the last two seasons:
TOI: 1561 (6th, 92nd in the NHL)
Goals: 28 (T-1st, T-24th in the NHL)
Assists: 25 (5th)
Primary Assists: 22 (2nd)
Second Assists: 3 (17th)
Points: 53 (4th - Tkachuk is 1st with 56)
Primary Points: 50 (1st, 28th in the NHL)
So yeah he's been the top player on this team at 5v5 the last two seasons. If not for abnormally low second assists he'd be leading the team in 5v5 points (His 3 secondary assists are the lowest of any player with over 50 5v5 points the last 2 seasons. Nordstrom has 4 and he's only been here this season).
