Yes outscoring Lindholm in terms of goals but only putting up basically 10% of his assists while playing a less important position.
Let's see where Mangiapane ends up this year but I do expect that shooting percentage to come down and although I know Mangiapane is a much better player than Bouma, look what happened when we signed Bouma after his career year.
I still expect Treliving to sign him in the 4.75-5M range as a RFA. |
Mangiapane over his last two years (Combined) has produced at a greater than 40 point pace, as it's unfair to simply say 32 points when it's based on a partial season.
Plus he's on a 66 point pace (56 goals) this year, so it's impossible to know what his cap range will be until you see where he eventually lands this year. No one expects him to keep up this pace, but if he lands on 55 or more points, he'll get more than $5M. How much more depends entirely on his year.
