Glencross is the better pure scorer, and I loved him as a player, but I would take Mangiapane over him, both for generating offense and defending. That said, I also think that the writing is on the wall, and the Flames need to open some wing spots in the top 9.

Yeah. Good points.
I think what I was trying to say more or less is that Glencross was generally more reliable when he had the chance to pot the big goal.
There were so many times when he came in clutch for the team (usually on an odd man rush).
I can't think of a massive goal, let alone a massive point from Mangiapane this season. His contributions to the team's success haven't exactly been front and center. But maybe they've gone more unnoticed because of that growing expectation of him. Confirmation bias has an interesting effect on one's perception. I feel like I've been waiting for him to have a 'statement' game for 2 years.
