Yeah Mangiapane has been taking too much grief for his play this season and a 2nd would be a poor return when there is no need to move him now, he'd be worth more as a UFA next deadline IMO.
It's funny because you see all these "he's been so bad " posts, and then when you look at his season:
5v5 Points: 24 (3rd amongst Flames Forwards)
Individual expected Goals: 11.3 (2nd)
Individual High Danger Chances: 59 (1st)
xGF%: 52.89% (4th)
HDCF%: 55.4% (1st)
GF%: 52.8% (5th)
Still driving great on ice results, and driving high danger chances, but struggling with his individual finishing with only 6 goals on an expected goals of 11.
