I don't see a huge issue with it; Mangiapagne appears to have one of the higher upsides of the remaining guys. You basically have your choice between apparent boom/bust guys like him, moderate ceiling/floor guys like Poirier and likely Hickey, and a bunch of low ceiling guys.
I think it is a case of stat watching and people assuming high points = good player. The guy hasn't proved anything other than he can score alot of points in junior with high scoring linemates.I don't see a huge issue with it; Mangiapagne appears to have one of the higher upsides of the remaining guys.

If both were drafted in the same round, Mangiapane would win this vote easily.

If Mangiapane wasn't skipped in his first draft eligible season he would also win this vote easily.
Because both would mean he was a better player than he actually is.

Took Poirier here. If he reaches his potential, we have a Brad Marchand type on our hands. I think this (and any!) team needs that more than another small winger - especially one shrouded in uncertainty.
I think that's a reach. I don't ever see Poirier being a 30+ goal scorer with ~50-60 points while providing ELITE two way play.
If we are talking rookie Brad Marchand that put up 20-20-40 while being a pest (mostly from the Bruins 3rd line at the time) then yeah, I can see that if he hits his full potential. But 1st line forward who plays some of the best defensive hockey in the entire NHL? No.
Because if he was a better player he would have been taken sooner. Sorry, thought that point was obvious....If Mangiapane had been drafted after his first draft-eligible season he would be a better player than he is? This makes no sense.

What about Joseph Blandisi. Undrafted.
The one who was drafted by Colorado in 2012?
