As someone mentioned, he is already one of the more productive players from the 2018, there is something there.

Mangiapane is actually a great compaison, as they are both late round picks (who tend to make the NHL at a later age - if ever). Here is the trajectory for Mangiapane and Sharangovich, by age (G-A-P, games, P/82):
Mangiapane:
22) 8 - 5 - 13, 44, 24
23) 17 - 15 - 32, 68, 38.5
24) 18 - 14 - 32, 56, 46.9
25) 35 - 20 - 55, 82, 55
26) 17 - 26 - 43, 82, 43
Sharangovich:
22) 16 - 14 - 30, 54, 45.5
23) 24 - 22 - 46, 76, 49.6
24) 13 - 17 - 30, 75, 32.8
Career averages to date are 42.0 for Mangiapane and 42.4 for Sharangovich.
Sharangovich was the better player, through their first 3 years in the NHL (22 through 24). Mangiapane broke out at 25. Will Sharangovich? That is the question.
