LW Andrew Mangiapane - Barrie Colts, OHL (2015, 166th, CGY)

[hoc123]

Mangiapane is a 5"10 18 year old "turning 19 on April 4th" who is absolutely crushing the OHL right now. With 73 points in 49 games he's 6th in points "about to be 7th with McDavid about to pass him" 10th in assists and 9th in goals. How good of a chance is there he gets drafted, if he does what round? "I'm guessing 5th to 7th round".

Would absolutely love for my Leafs to snag him if he's still on the board from the fourth round onward. He should have been drafted last year.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

21 points in his last 9 games since being placed with Joseph Blandisi. This kid must be shooting up the draft rankings. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go in the 2nd round.

 

[StatsNightHero]

I saw him play a few games last season, unfortunately none this year. He makes really smart plays everytime he touches the puck. One of those guys you can pass to at anytime and he will know where to put it next. But he is small and I don't think his skating is strong enough to overcome his stature like some other small guys. But definitely worth a shot in the mid to late rounds. His production is impressive and he's a smart player so he could surprise.

 

[ZeroPT*]

He gets really good in NHL games

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Bolton's finest

Where is this guy slotted to go? Impressed me a lot this year

Any chance he goes 2nd round?

Perhaps late in the round. Right now, I think he's more likely to go 3rd though.

3-5th round judging by the current rankings.

Ranked 147th by CS

 

[DekeLikeYouMeanIt]

Should've been drafted last time along with Pius Suter from Guelph. It was shocking.

 

[covfefe]

Bolton's finest

Is there such a thing? (I jest)

Can't argue with the fact that Bolton has produced some decent hockey players in the last few years...but damn if that is not a sad, sad town.

 

[MarkGio]

Mangiapane is currently 4th in OHL scoring with 23 points in 15 games. Not bad for a 6th rounder.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

29 G and 21 A in his last 23 games. This kid has got to be opening some eyes. Looked really dangerous in Penticton prospect camp.
50 G 51 A 56 GP

 

[BM14]

He should cut down on eating bread if he wants to be succeed.

 

[L13]

One goal behind Dvorak in the OHL goal-scoring race with one game in hand. Wouldn't be surprised if Mange took the goal-scoring title.

He has lethal offensive instincts, produces offence away from Labanc (although they link up on the powerplay and are dynamite together), and gets ice time in all situations, including the PK. I think he's one of the leading SH goal scorers in the OHL.

He started the season a little slowly, but has been a total beast since his 8-game suspension and especially since the turn of the year.

Really nice player. Can't wait to see how he transitions to the pros.

 

[Fire Treliving]

Named OHL and CHL player of the week with 11 points in 3 games.

 

[Siignal]

"In the Eastern Conference, the Central Division champion Barrie Colts lead the way with eight players represented across 16 of the 20 different categories highlighted by Calgary Flames prospect Andrew Mangiapane who was named Most Underrated, Best Skater, and Best Shootout Shooter. "

 

[driveway]

Mangiapane has signed an entry level deal with Calgary.

51g 55a 106p in 59 games played this year.

 

[izzy]

I don't understand how it took so many rounds for this kid to be picked

Small and older prospect? But yeah

 

[1989]

Good on Mangiapane for not giving up even after not being drafted in his first go at eligibility. Shows good character and good hockey ability despite size concerns.

He doesn't play a Gaudreau style, more of a St Louis-type speedster. He'll have to bulk up that lower core/body in order to find success at the next level.

Calgary has an interesting (and somewhat successful) history with smaller players despite having a relatively "tough" profile according to team identity. Hope this kid turns out.

 

[bossram]

Small and older prospect? But yeah

He should have been picked in his draft year. Remember reading an article he was tied in ES points with Sam Bennett.

 

[NHL RankKing]

Certainly impressive numbers, but does he have NHL skill/potential?

 

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Certainly impressive numbers, but does he have NHL skill/potential?

Of course. The Flanes wouldn't have signed him unless they thought he did.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Certainly impressive numbers, but does he have NHL skill/potential?

I watched the Barrie London game about a month ago on sportsnet. And he was the most dangerous player on the ice. He also was our best forward in Penticton last year and just seems to keep getting better. Definitely has some skill.
