I have to say though, I’m surprised you’re hard balling Mangiapane, yet you’re willing to offer Kylington $4.5M for a good start or possibly just 1 good season. That’s the confusing thing for me.

RFA vs UFA makes a huge difference with Coleman.
Assuming Mang levels off the rest of the way, and even at that will still likely flirt with 30 goals, you have to take the entire scope of his last 2.5 seasons into account. For the team you'd slot him in between Backlund and Lindholm in terms of importance, and for me that means he's looking at $5-$5.5 AAV for 5-6 seasons.
