He did the same with Mangiapane, could have had him on a reasonable long term contract but now he's a $5.5m player.
Good GM's lock up their good young players when they have the hammer, for some reason Treliving stopped doing that.

He didn't IIRC. He could only get a longer contract if he offered more money. He didn't have more money.
