If the number was right - yes, of course he would have signed. But it would likely have been a number that wouldn't have fit with the point you are trying to manufacture.

Sure, I may have seen 30 goal potential, but did anyone else? Did Mangiapane or his agent definitively know too? It wasn’t really until Andrew went to the World Championships in last year where he truly understood where he stood in relation to the rest of the league. He was so good, even Team Canada was talking about him playing in the Olympics.
Lastly, Treliving has always been an extremely difficult negotiator. He uses leverage whenever he’s had a chance and that’s why he’s come out on top with his RFA signings.

Yeah, you're the only one. Not even the player and the agent were as smart as you. How on earth are you not on an NHL payroll?
