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.

If Mangi levels off, he’d likely be flirting with 40 then, not 30. For him to only flirt with 30, he’d have to be injured or fall off so dramatically, that his goal scoring pace would drop from his current pace of 56 to somewhere in the teens which is extremely unlikely.
For the team, ideally you want him at that number. But for Mangiapane, he’s going to want way more and I don’t blame him. Treliving played hard ball and this is the risk you run when you continuously kick the can down the road. Mangiapane will have an exceptional amount of leverage this summer and he’s going to look to clean up on the only big pay day of his career and good for him too, he deserves it. It’ll hurt the team’s cap situation, but that’ll be on Treliving for his lack of foresight on the matter.
