Really, everyone else has performed up to expectations (moreso in a couple cases, like Zadorov and Dube).

When it comes to Mangiapane, I don't think there will be much improvement. He's only scored more than 20 one time. I've always seen him as a 25 goal guy at best. He had a great season with a good team last year but the odds are more that he's in the high teens/low twenties for goals. He gets so many good chances it's hard to watch sometimes.
I hope I have it wrong and he's scores 30 next year.
