Andrew Mangiapane was the Flames' best forward at 5v5 this past season. By far offensively, and arguably defensively.
He has GROSSLY outperformed his contracts thus far and whatever he gets on his next deal, he will also likely outperform, especially if it comes in at under $5M.
Getting Mangiapane locked up on a long term deal (6+ years) under $5M would likely be Treliving's biggest win (right up there with Lindholm's contract).
The guy is a fuc**** stud and the underappreciation he gets on this board is past the comical point and starting to reach disappointing levels.
Mangiapane is an ELITE 5v5 offensive player.
Mangiapane is an ELITE 5v5 defensive player.
It's total BS that he hasn't gotten top unit PP time. The second he does will result in the ultimate breakout season.
