And yes, it’s my belief that the Flames at the time, had the option of inking both players to long term deals. The team had the cap space going into the offseason, but the cap space was allocated elsewhere.

I mean, it is the GMs job to forecast his salary cap picture years ahead and part of that is to make long term deals in hopes that foundation players will out perform his contract. That’s certainly the case with Rasmus Andersson, but he decided not to with Mangiapane who happens to be an RFA on pace for 40 goals.
This is just such a massive assumption that you are then using to assume failure on the GM's part.
