While I'm happy he's getting some notoriety and is playing great it's important to put things into perspective. The World Championships are such a small sample size against largely inferior competition to the NHL. The comparisons being made in this thread to Brad Marchand are absolutely ridiculous and at best we are looking as a poor man's Gallagher who made $3.75 million this season at the age of 28. He's getting a big raise to $6.5 million which is an overpayment but at least he's earned it so to hear numbers like $5 million a season thrown around for Mangiapane is kind of crazy.
