And on the open market today Hanifin would make a couple million more.
There are also other contracts to consider and this thing called the salary cap. The team literally could not afford to give Mangiapane say - 5 million for 8 years, nor would he have signed that anyway.

I honestly think they’re gonna have to chose between Tkachuk and Mangiapane. With the Tkachuk families history of squeezing every penny they can, I’d chose Mangiapane. I’d probably chose Mangiapane without that factor. That just seals it for me.
