To me, he's a 40-50 point guy with a high motor and who plays the right way. That to me is classic Mangiapane and that's kind of where he ultimately ended up. 43 points, career high in assists, +12, bad first half, excellent second half. Still love this guy and hope he has a good recovery.

He’s about the middle of last year and this year. I would expect him at a 12-13%, maybe 15% if he shoots more quality shots. 25/25 player, maybe 30/20 on some years. Not bad for a 6th round pick 8 years ago. Solid two way player too. Just paid a little too much for my liking, but he was taking discounts prior to this deal so it makes up for it.
I hope for a speedy recovery. I want him playing with Huberdeau, I think he is the best stop gap until Coronato is ready to take the ribs with Huberdeau.
