I don't think so, not with Mangiapane's ATOI.
Rust: 18:46 ATOI, 58 points in 60 games.
McCann: 16:08 ATOI, 50 points in 74 games.
Tuch: 18:25 ATOI, 38 points in 50 games.
Fabbri: 17:20 ATOI, 30 points in 56 games.
Fiala: 17:39 TOI, 85 points in 82 games.
Mangiapane: 15:44 ATOI, 55 points in 82 games.
I'm not arguing that Mang deserves a contract like this *today*, but that Mang has no reason to sign a long-term deal today when his minutes are being suppressed by playing behind the best LW in the league. If we're going to lock up Mang long-term it's going to have to be closer to Fiala rather than McCann, otherwise Mang will just wait until free agency.
