He has 14 Even Strength points which ranks 79th among forwards in the NHL....that is tied or better than:
Evgeni Malkin
Vincent Trocheck
Filip Forsberg
Martin Necas
Cole Perfetti
Anze Kopitar
Steven Stamkos
Evander Kane
Tyler Toffoli
Valeri Nichushkin
Sebastian Aho
Brady Tkachuk
He's producing perfectly fine at 5V5 for both his role and salary and hasn't been bringing players down at all. His underlying metrics are still perfectly fine and some of the better results on the team. Not a liability defensively. Honestly the biggest issue that I can find is he keeps getting called for questionable penalties that other players aren't getting called for.
The problem with his production (and lots of players on the team TBH) is that the anemic PP, and really he's gotten limited minutes with the second unit so tough to blame him for that too.

Wonder why every single one of those guys are more valuable than Mangi
He doesnt get a pass because he has no contribution on the PP. He is not good enough to be on the most pathetic PP in the league
