Mangiapane should go to the Backlund/Coleman line, at least you can get him going. Huberdeau goes to the Lindholm/Sharangovich line and maybe he can get going with a guy who knows how to shoot.
There's no drawback to swapping Huberdeau and Mangiapane. Neither are doing anything and we at least know Mangiapane is good with those two.

Huberdeau - Backlund - Mangiapane
Why does it make it much worse? Mangiapane plays well with Backlund, he had 35 goals a couple of seasons back, so he can be setupbby Huberdeau, and retrieve pucks back.
We already tried Huberdeau - Lindholm - Sharangovich and they didn't generate much of anything this season. Coleman - Lindholm - Sharangovich has the potential to be a great 2 way line, and potentially increase Lindholm's trade value.
