Unfortunately, the Flames chose to nickel-and-dime the no-leverage Mangipane for $300,000 on a single-season contract despite that and are now going to be writing a ticket that far exceeds $300,000 in incremental value every season for the remainder of his time with the Team. Small one-season gain for large multi-season pain. Great job.

I don't believe Mangiapane and his agent asked for a multi-year deal.

“We provided them with an offer for one year, based on players provided to us as comparables, and we’re waiting to hear back,” said agent Ritch Winter, who represents the 23-year-old restricted free agent.

It sounds like Mangiapane is looking for closer to $1 million on a one-year, one-way deal.

So in theory it would have been great to lock him up long term, I don't believe there's reason to believe Mangipane and his agent would have accepted a long term deal at that point. It would make no sense for them to get locked in long-term that early.
