I think that's a stretch. Mangiapane is the real deal, a goal scorer in a league where scoring goals is hard. Pelletier is a different kind of player with simalar skills. Don't forget there is never a 100% chance that scoring well in the AHL automatically means scoring well in the NHL. Anything but.
I still think Zadarov's 3.6will not be back and Rudzicka is going to replace Monahan on the 3rd line next year. Sean's skating great, has better linemates and will be a more valuable commodity this summer I expect. Hope they keep Gudbranson however if those pieces are gone the Flames can sign everyone and theres still a place for Pelltier on the roster.
