Put it this way: the only reason I would see to trading Mangiapane now is if 1) there is a substantial overpay on the table for him, or 2) he has priced himself out of the market.
Yes, that’s exactly it. If neither JG or SM are moved, what do the Flames do with their forwards.

I’m not so sure the Flames move JG or SM anymore. If one goes, they both go in my opinion. I would not want to see what one looks like without the other. Monahan needs a distributor. If you move Monahan, you can’t compete down the middle. Maybe you can move like-for-like, but that just leads to a multitude of other questions.
