At some point this team needs more than a few good hockey players, no? If they want to be a good team but won’t spend money on good players…then what are they doing? If they go to free agency to replace Mangiapane who left via free agency, they aren’t going to get a better player than Mangiapane. Our free history shows that.
If you’re arguing the Flames shouldn’t commit long term money to Mangiapane because they’re going to suck on purpose, well that makes sense - otherwise, if the plan is to improve the team, the team needs to keep its good players and add to them.

He needs to prove he is a good player over a longer stretch if he wants to be paid like one IMO. Career high is 32 points, his start was insane but he has been pretty average for 15 games+
Also the Flames have 30 home games left, how is that gonna go?
Conversation is very different if he finishes with 35 points and not 55+ like we were expecting a month ago. Time will tell
