4.35 for 3 years. That’s the bar. Or we could splurge and pay him 4.85, double his current deal. But we shouldn’t have to.

Didn’t say he was, I meant that if he was on the open market, there would be plenty of suitors and I believe Andrew’s agent understands that which is why he went on record saying he have Mangiapane sign a 1 year deal to get him to free agency.
Also, 3 years? Why would Mangipane sign that? Supply and demand is the name of the game in the NHL. There’s a limited supply of good players and every GM wants them, so you have to ante up for them and that usually means big term and big dollars. There’s no doubt in my mind Andrew will be getting a Zach Hyman like contract and he’ll probably get more because he’s a better goal scorer.
