Mangiapane is closer but he’s even 25 and I don’t see why we wouldn’t want another player his caliber added to the team. Thomas coming off a bad year might resign a bridge deal for cheap because of the bad year
Add a first and maybe you take the first in 22.
If tarasenko stays healthy this could be a steal of a deal

Tarasenko may cement himself as a boat anchor contract as well. If Tarasenko busts on the Flames how can this team compete with Tarasenko and Lucic chewing up $13M of a flat cap?
I would only want a cap dump if the Flames are getting a guy that looks like a future elite core piece. The Habs deal for Pacioretty for instance. They took Tatar on but got Suzuki. Tkachuk is a higher caliber player than Pacioretty so I would want a higher caliber prospect coming back than Suzuki and I don’t think Thomas is that player
