Mangiapane would be squeezed into a 1 or 2 year deal due to cap constraints. If he signs a 2 year deal, he'd have 1 RFA year left and arbitration rights at the end of it - so it may put him in a position to get him to free agency as quick as possible and gain some negotiation power.
Yeah, the defence is a pile of lefties on the right side, as is the RW situation - but I wouldn't call that team completed either, just an in-between state. We know if Hall is signed, it's likely Johnny is gone - but we wouldn't be forced to do it so Tree can take his time to negotiate a massive return ala Sakic with Duchene.

Maybe Holtby. I think Mangiapane will want more as Tre played tough with him last go around. He is the one that ended up bending that time, and then he came in and over performed. I think it will be difficult and potentially injurious to our relationship with the player to try and bend him over again.
