Top end/ elite talent wins.
Mangi is fine as your 8-9th best player on a contending team . But he isn’t improving , nor getting younger , and is already making 6 million .
There’s zero reason to sign him after this contract so trade him for as much value as you can

I’m in agreement with this. Gotta get the top end talent in. Until then, you have to best your chances through picks. If Mangiapane is the guy to get you a solid return, do it.
Admittedly the amount of games of watch the flames this year has been limited vs past years but he’s a shadow of himself. Before he was pretty exciting and making plays and in the thick of things. These days you barely notice him. Not sure if it’s fully a product of his third line placement but it’s hard to argue that considering Coleman is all over the place. Ultimately I think even those that like him can probably agree he’s replaceable. So if he brings back some good value I’d deal him.
