This is more than funny. Before Mangiapane made it to NHL, people said he's a career AHLer, will never make it to the big. Then he did, and people said, he's a career 4th liner, not going to make any impact. Then he did. And now saying Pavelski is twice the player Mangiapane will ever be. "Will ever be"? Pavelski is 37 and Mangiapane is 25, they are 12 years apart. Who to say Mangiapane not going to be just as good as Pavelski in the next 12 years? Fine, you can say Pavelski has done more in his career, score more points. But he is 37.
