Good trade. I think Mangiapane has become underrated. He does a lot of heavy lifting. If he was good on the PP, his production would then make him look much more attractive of course. However, he does a lot of heavy lifting 5on5. I don't think he is vastly overpaid, but I am surprised that Conroy was able to squeeze out a 2nd without retention in this market. This is a great trade.
I wish him good luck, and I hope he scores 40 next season and really cashes-in somewhere. I think he has been a fantastic Flame and a good story to have followed.
