Have to wonder what the holdup is if it is not waiting on the Tkachuk deal.
Mangiapane's camp doesn't have much leverage as he really only established himself in the last half of the season. It should be pretty simple deal in the 1 to 3 year range. If it's one year there's no way is needs to be above $1M. Maybe a 1 x $925k (rookie max) as he's still kind of a rookie barely making the GP cut off. Then next season he has arbitration rights and can use them if he feels the Flames undervalued him this off season, but he literally has a half season of good NHL play.
