I doubt there's anything to be had though. Mangiapanes side needed to give in way sooner for the Flames side to be nice to them in return.
At this point, firing the agent may be the only way out. Unless Ritch Winter is prepared to fold, and that would be a risk to future deals he has to broker.
This is a bluff which has been called. He didn't have a strong hand to play and time only weakens it more.
They should have gone for a cheap one way deal from the start, and made one way vs two way the hill they die on. Not trying to squeeze money from a team with cap issues, when the market in general is capping out.
