We are NOT getting Mangiapane locked up for under 6 the way some think we are.
I did some comparison with wingers only not C,RW or such strictly wingers this past year.
Neiderrieter 29: like Palat 31 is NOT a comparable.
Burakovsky 27 :2 seasons in 9 with 20 and 23 goals. $5.5 Mange is better
Boeser 25,: 29,23 and 23 goals 3yrs 6.65 Mange is better
Fiala 25 : 23, 20 and 33/85pts last year 7yrs/ 7.875 he's maybe better than Mange and what Mange may aspire too.
Batherson 24,: 17, 17 6yrs 4.975
He dragged Team Canada to Victory and scored 35 while getting zip power play time. We have all seen his tenacity and not all players have that motor.
I still say it'll be 6Mill and maybe up to 7M to sign Mangiapane for 7-8 years.
Now our 11.6 is only max 5.6 and Kjillington and 3 more 750-950 AHL/Free agents need to be signed
We DO have Monahan and some LTIR time?
So realistically Kadri is a pipe dream and I do not see how we are close to his ask. Even trading a 4M D man isn't going to clear us to 8 mil because somethings coming back.
Trade a 4M d man for a R shot RW? Maybe thats another story but we either have room for Mange OR a Kadri and I prefer Mange.

I don't see how you can look at McCann's 5x5 contract and think Mang can command more than 6 per year.
... Ritch, is that you?
