He also looks like he is taking the next step to another level in his career. He is very noticeable most time he is on the ice. Much more of a catalyst for his line than Mangiapane is on his. How much should we expect Mangiapane to progress, compared to the progression Konecny is showing.
I would definitely have concerns trading futures at this point because if the Flames are going to compete in the future, we are going to need effective players on entry level deals. But as far as replacing Mangiapane with Konecny, that is an easy choice for me, if it were theoretically possible to do it without gutting our futures.
