Again I do really like the player, if he finishes the season and playoffs with the production he has had lately there is no way I am giving him 6M was my point. Needs to pick it up and get back being a threat every game.

20 games don't just make the 170 games before that disappear.
In his last 20 games he has 8 points at 5v5, Elias Lindholm has 9...but I don't seem to see people hand wringing about Elias Lindholm's last 20 games.
Is Mangiapane the issue with his last 20 games? Or is that he has a 6.71% on ice shooting percentage because his teammates are shooting 5% with him on the ice, and he's still shooting 13.3% himself.
People will always seem to find a way to say Mangiapane is not a top 6 forward, or a top forward on this team.
