Maybe the worst 10 game NHL stint ever.
You are making a point on how bad the NHLe is as a metric.
Kyle Connor did not come close to putting up Mangiapane-like numbers in the AHL and scored at the 60 pt level in the NHL.
Nic Petan has nearly as great AHL numbers , but scores at a 4th liner rate in the NHL.
They are different leagues.

Hyperbolic much?
Before this thread gets ricardow-ed by your statements of absolute fact:
-Mangiapane was primarily used on the 4th line with scrubs for his call-up, Connor has been used on the 1st line relatively consistently since his call up. Comparing a 1st rounder with a player drafted as an overager in the 6th round seems a bit flawed in terms of expectations no?
-Mangiapane did not look out of place during his call up, in fact he appeared to be creating opportunities despite being surrounded by stone hands. It has been universally recognized on these pages that he was poorly utilized by GG
-Maybe the worst call up ever...really? Based on what? The Grit Index?
Please go find another player to irrationally hate on (I recommend Brouwer)
