Right now, Mangi has huge potential -- annual 30 goal scorer, maybe. But I'm disinclined to pay for maybes. That's why I'd bridge him to UFA at a Toffoli scale deal That would cover the Flames window with guys like Lindholm + Hanafin still on bargain contracts.
I really like the player. But I'm not willing to lose Gaudreau or Tkachuk over him just yet.

Mangiapane is ufa in summer 2023 so we're past the point of bridging him. One year gets him there. I don't think either side wants a one year show-me deal so its either long term (4 plus years) or trade him.
