You guys really think the difference between those two players is a 1st round pick in the deepest draft in 20 years?

Mangiapane’s production is down this year - as is Kadri’s, as is Huberdeau’s, as is Lindholm’s. If you aren’t seeing the positive trend in his game since getting back with Backlund and Coleman (who all look their best when they’re together), I don’t know what to say.

Trading Mang + 1st for Knoecny is silly. It also doesn’t correct the fact that we’d still be lacking a top-9 forward so our lines would still be a mess.

At 25 years old he's probably worth it if the goal is to win in the next few seasons. He's an every situation player as he plays pp and pk (has 2 SH goals this season). He's younger and would be much more impactful on a game to game basis and he's a RHS. Really though why would the Flyers want Mangiapane? They could get a 1st round pick + from a lot of teams for Konecny without having to take on a questionable contract in return.
