Very similar to Mangiapane.

He could be cheating for offence, or maybe he isn't a great defender. I'm sure the Flames will address it as he develops.

I think that's due to the fact that he played the first half of the season with Cape Breton, who have a horrible overall +/-. They have one plus player on their entire roster, and every player who has played at least 5 games in a minus player.
Francis was a -9 in 15 games with Cape Breton. He's a +14 in 17 games since getting traded to Saint John.
