Great trade.
Mangiapane was never going to get close to 30 goals again, and maybe not even 20. I like him overall, but he really wasn't that effective out there over the last two years.
But this is about asset management.
6th round pick. Develop him as a long shot, but he becomes a permanent middle six winger. Trade him at his peak age, but past what is likely to be his career highs in produciton, for a 2nd round pick to add to a rebuild.
Really, really smart upgrading of an asset.
