Hey, I didn't realize that Mangiapane was a training camp tryout in the WHL. That actually improves his outlook, I think. A guy who was drafted into the WHL and then went undrafted once in the NHL would be worse that a guy who wasn't drafted into the WHL, then was drafted into the NHL in his second year of eligibility.
Basically means he could be a late-bloomer instead of just a guy who wasn't able to compete at the CHL level until he was older than everyone.
I dunno, maybe I'm reading into things way too much.
