His shot isn’t particularly remarkable.
He’s had 20 assists once - TJ Brodie had 20+ apples six times between age 22-28.
His 36 goal season was a complete anomaly that was the result of playing Covid-depleted rosters and AHL goalies far more often than he otherwise would have.
Is he earning his money now? Sure.
Is he going to ever be worth what it would cost to extend him?
Not a chance.
Sell. Sell. Sell.

This really isn't fair.
Firstly, Managiapane has played 4 full time season. He's gotten more than 30 points in all of those season, including 2 Covid shortened seasons. He's had 20 more assists the last 2 seasons and is well above that pace now. He paced above 20 assists during both covid shortened seasons too.
I do agree that his 35 goal season was likely an anamoly. Likely do to finding amazing chemistry with his linemates. However, Mangiapane is likely a 15-25 goal scorer and 40-50 point player.
If the Flames can get good assets for Mangiapane, they should look at moving him. He's not a bargain at his current contract, and re-upping him on anything but a big discount, at his age, would be a big mistake.
