Not according to what I hear every time they interview Cail Maclean. Mangipane has points but the coach doesn't sound overenthused about him (compared to how he sounds about Kylington).
Mangiapane isn't suited to fourth line play anyway.
I know it's not a popular opinion but with Andersson, Valimaki and Dube all in the NHL I truly believe, if you ignore the crapshoot of goaltending, Kylington is our best prospect.
I've always thought of him and Parsons in our top 5 below the other 3 mentioned.
I know Mangiapane gets a lot of love but I don't see the same upside in him as I do with Kylington.
I'm happy to see the coach is high on him and singing his praises.
Drafting 3 NHL dmen since 2015 would be amazing for our scouting staff and management. When you throw Hanifin into the mix it makes it that much sweeter.

Maclean positively gushes about Kylington and the hard minutes he's been logging, in all situations.
With Mangiapane (and his linemates) it was very faint praise - something like "they had a rough start but I think they're starting to get it". He seemed to like Lazar a little better, in fact.
When you look at the top line points he can't be unhappy about production, so it seems to be a buy-in to his system or something.

I predict a blowout FOR the Flames. Ducks beat Calgary when they are greasy and use their size. They are missing a chunk of their size tonight.
9-1 Flames, with Bennett getting a Gordie Howe hat trick (beats up Kesler) and even Peluso potting in a goal to stun us all. Getzlaf gets one... by again using his hand to throw the puck into the net and somehow the refs don't see it and call it a good call.
