Also I would argue that Mangiapane's 5v5 counting stats are a bit under inflated...because his linemates can't finish.
Mangiapane has shot 17% the last three seasons at 5v5. Which is high but he's been able to sustain it for the most part for three years now. (53 goals on 310 shots)
His linemates have scored 72 goals on 1169 shots - for an abysmal 6.2% on ice shooting percentage. His assist totals would be much, much higher if there was any type of finish also playing on his line.
The goal needs to be to keep all of Gaudreau, Tkachuk, and Mangiapane IMO.
