Not a fan of the term. AAV is about right.

 

[Potty John]

Would have expected 5-6 years with that AAV

 

[Dack]

Good for Mangiapane I guess? He'll be a UFA at 29 so he's got time for a big pay day.

 

[herashak]

Mangi probably has good comps as far as goal scoring goes, he got a good AAV but arbitration could give him a lot anyways

 

[Bounces R Way]

3 years? wtf
AAV is fine but the term nullifies a lot of trade value he might have

Not a good contract imo

 

[InfinityIggy]

Honestly pretty terrible given the AAV.

Wouldn’t say terrible, but definitely not ideal.

I think that they may actually be thinking rebuild in short order and think that Mangiapane for two years cheap is what will get them the most in a trade from a contender.

Happy to have Mangiapane back but God dam this team is ready to sell if Huby doesn't stay.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

That's a lot of dough.

Bah-dum-TISS

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Not a fan of the term of AVV.

As a friendly Florida fan I wonder if the plan is to offer Huberdeau a high AAV short term contract instead? Might be an easier sell to him and better for the long term situation here.

Feels like a touch too much for a bit too short

Seems optimistic. More likely they're trying to create another half-assed 2-3 year contention window and pushing the reckoning down the road. Again. Everyone's signed and they're cap compliant. No room for upgrades but no need to dump Monahan or Lucic either. Nowhere near good enough to win a cup but also nowhere near bad enough to finish with a bottom five pick.

Either that or they still don't understand the cap era. Guys like Hanifin & Lindholm are worth more now when there's still term left on their deals, than when they're soon to be UFA's looking for massive raises.

Whoa whoa whoa. Rebuild? Seriously?

In thinking weaponized cap space retool maybe... Idk how to think of a rebuild concept being green lighted.

That could very well be true. Still think that with another year on there he'd be a lot more attractive to an upcoming team that needs a top 6 contributor.

Treliving didn't have all that much leverage here left this summer so I can kind of get it. But at a 5.8 AAV you'd think he could have got another year tacked on there. Course if Mangiapane regresses significantly(don't think that's super likely but it does happen occasionally) maybe we'll be happy it's not for longer.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Good to have him back, but I don't think he's a $5.8M player.
Mostly after all the recent moves I'm just left wondering what this team is going to look like in 5 years, I really have no idea.

 

[Tofveve]

I'm okay with this.

He had a monster career year and I expect a significant step back with all of his totals. Closer to 22 goals 45 pts. Something like that. He got paid. If he makes me gladly eat my words then we can try and extend in year 2 or trade him.
