— NYIslanders (@NYIslanders) March 4, 2014
Islander website release:Mangene, 24, has six points (three goals, three assists) in 51 games this season with the Adirondack Phantoms of the American Hockey League. A native of Manorville, NY, Mangene played three seasons of college hockey at the University of Maine, scoring 16 goals and 34 points in his final year with the Black Bears in 2011-12.
Matt Mangene is a third year center in the AHL with the Phantoms
Will not stand out in the size department which is needed here.
NYIFC Comments:
I guess Shane Harper was not available again. Seems one team in our division loves our pending UFA defenders. For me the return price has to be higher for a divisional rival as in if MacDonald signs with Flyers the 2015 pick becomes a first rounder.
So now the Islanders have the Flyers third/fourth round selections in the 2014 draft.
Note-My apologies to everyone for hitting the wrong button earlier in possible anticipation of a trade that was not intended to be posted, but saved in draft. I deleted the entry within minutes, but understand many link to this website.
