No one dislikes him, but many feel that this may well be his career year, and don't want to pay in the future for that.
A core piece likely has to go. Who do you think it should be, if not Mangiapane?

Who says a driver can’t be a finisher too? I think Ovechkin and Matthews are drivers as well and they’re 2 of the best goal scorers in the game today.
Well, this is where I think Brad Treliving put himself in a tough spot here. I think he really wanted to maximize his window and actually, he pretty much admitted to this on the Fan 960 a few weeks ago. So now he will have to make some tough decisions here or as he put it, “move heaven and earth” to re-sign these guys.
Obviously Monahan’s contract has to go. Ideally Lucic, but you can’t move that thing. I don’t think a buyout yields much in terms of cap relief, so the Flames may be stuck with it. Therefore, I could very well see a Dube or even a Hanifin move being made to get things done.
