It doesn’t really matter though because results are the results and I can’t think of a forward who is over 25, never scored 20 goals in a season, or cracked 35pts being given the term and $ of a player who scores significantly more and is a legit first liner.
I think Mangiapane could get there but barring a point per game season next year I just don’t see how he can command 6x6?
I think trying to sign Mangiapane this summer would be a wise move and paying him between 4-5M on a long term deal makes sense for both sides (if Mangiapane’s goal is to get security ASAP otherwise he should bet on himself and see how next season goes)
