I highly doubt Mange is moved until around the deadline. Management hates retaining already and nobody is paying us the assets we would want for him without retention when the winger market is flooded this summer (ie why trade for Mangiapane at 5.8M when you can sign Terravainen for 6M). So they will wait until the the actual money owed in a retention trade is near it's lowest (ala the deadline) then move him to a contender at 50-75%I'm not going to speculate on other teams. But from Calgary, I think Mangiapane is moved. Maybe Markstrom, but only if the deal is worth it. I think Vladar will be bought out in the 2nd buyout period (he won't be healthy for the first one)
I think there is a very real possibility Markstrom is moved but we may have to retain on his deal to make it work and for the return we want. If we do move him I doubt Vladar is moved. We can't just throw Wolf to the dogs next year, and Vladar has always played at his best when he is getting more consistent play. Even if we don't move Markstrom I doubt Vladar is bought out, we probably just move him to San Jose or something for FC, or place him on waivers, a buy out would just affect our cap for 2 years instead of 1.
