Why is Mangiapane taking a massive cut?

What do you think he should make

Most her think around 5 and I agree. He definitely isn't getting less than what he is making now

5.4M, same as Bjorkstrand and Teravainen

Both Teams reject this. Montanan has negative trade value, and the whole point of trading Nylander would be to create cap space, which this doesn’t. Lucic also has negative trade value. Players making 5-6.5 mil who are worthy of about half of that do no have trade positive value

Could do a RNH type deal 5.125 x 8 years or whatever it was

That would be beautiful but RNH signed that as a pending UFA and age 28

Could see Treliving pushing hard for a Toffoli contract for Mang. They are linemates + Toffoli put up a number of 20+ goal seasons before he signed that deal. $4.25M x 3+ years would work well for CGY, of course.

Bjorkstrand also had more scoring under his belt before getting that $5.4M. It will definitely be used as a comparable this summer. Fingers crossed Treliving gets Mang extended for 3+ years at a good price.

I have a very difficult time seeing Jarnkrok signed for almost double what Mangiapane signs for in this post. Will be, and should be, the other way around. And Mangiapane will almost certainly come in for $4-5.5M range, depending on term.
