As for Mangi, I definitely like him as a Flames long term wise.

You are saying Backlund played at a Selke nominee level...this past season?
And this thread is about what to pay Mangiapane...the team will need to free up money regardless of what the final number is. Looking at moving one of your oldest forwards to be able to do so makes perfect sense.
