Probably not a good gamble to ask for a bucketload of money the same offseason as the Gaudreau and Tkachuk negotiations and with gate revenues not where they could be to line the pockets of ownership. Better to wait until the following offseason when Monahan and Lucic are off the books.
So I also think we'll see Kylington do the same, take a decent bump in pay for the year and go big the following offseason negotiations.

Well his agent did say much the same last month. Sounds more like a leveraging tool against the ever stingy Treliving who he’s had to deal with couple times already. Although being 1 year from UFA would help severely in terms of leverage, so I don’t blame him. I could see him and Tkachuk being very tough negotiations this summer since they’re in the same boat.
But if I’m Treliving, I’m opening the checkbook for Mangiapane because he’s exactly the type of player this organization likes. Extremely competitive and non stop motor. Treliving even traded for a guy who he hopes could end up being another Mangiapane in Emil Heineman.
