If you simply screw over the player, you eliminate the long term relationship. And considering how attractive NJ looks to Hughes already, that probably isn't the greatest idea.

so he plays 1 year at 1 M and then next year the Canucks qualify him at 1.1 M.
Then he waits for someone to make him an offer sheet? Would the Flames offer him 10x4 and give up 2 firsts a 2nd and a 3rd (they don't have their 3rd so they would have to go back to Boston and get them to trade back their 2020 third). Not likely but even then Canucks match and have him for 5 years at 41M (8.2x5) Chances are he takes the 3.5 +4.5 one year the summer of 2022 ... ie no other options.
If there were to be hard feelings over contracts and rotten long term relationship then this is Mangiapane's next to last season as a Flame. He files for arbitration on a 1 year deal and is a UFA. In his first RFA year they gave him a 2-way contract $714K with 70k in stockton. I guess that if the Flames are talking extension as they should be Mangiapane holds Treliving upside down by his balls
The guy that appears to want to get out of Calgary ASAP is Tkachuk who already beat the snot out of the Flames in his contract.
