To be clear, and for the record, I do not want Mangiapane moved. I don't think he's just a flash in the pan and I think his gritty style will make him successful with the skill he also has. But my point earlier was if he must be sacrificed in order to keep Tkachuk and Johnny, I do that without hesitation because those two are true 1st liners. That doesn't mean though that I think he's necessarily streaky or that the Flames need to sell high this year on him (which assumes last year was his ceiling), because I think he has more to give.
