As for Mangiapane, I'd have signed for as long as possible but like Tkachuk last year, there is no room to do so.

Well I would have preferred Barrie or Vatanen. Both better players and will sign shorter, cheaper contracts. I'll happily be proven wrong, but I don't love the way Tanev's stats were trending in Vancouver, and his injury history is just gross.
