Ok, some of you have convinced me that there really isn't much difference between Reinhart and Mangiapane, but I think there's something else at play here if this rumour has any legs.

I think the Flames might be able to get Reinhart under team control for longer if they acquire him, likely a 5 x $5 type deal.

Whereas with Mangiapane, realistically, they probably only have about 2 or 3 years of control left. I doubt the Mangiapane camp will sign anything long term at the $3 million range and will work towards UFA status as quickly as possible, unless the Flames decide to give him a 5 x $5 deal, which they won't given the small sample size of his work and also the need to make the cap work.

If this deal happens, it could be more of a player control issue.
