Also Mangi signed a 2 year deal for $2.4 but you don't think he would have added 6 more years to make $35 million more guaranteed? That is a silly argument.
Flames likely sign him this off season for that deal.

If you can't even quote yourself properly why should I bother with this? You said 25.
And yes, these days you can compare RFAs with UFAs because (a) it's a hypothetical if he was a UFA and (b) RFAs are being paid that way now. Anyway, Trouba was an RFA when he signed his contract and so was Subban.
Players are not opting for 8 year deals like they used to. Mangiapani signed a $2.4 deal for 2 years because he believed he could have a much higher payday afterwards and he was right. For all I know he turned down a longer term.
Jfresh calling him a 2D doesn't make him one. When he was paired with Tanev they got all the tough assignments.
