I like the contracts. Neither really absurd cap hits (though I may have thought this a bit high if not for those touting it will start at least 6). Both players having (up until now) career years during contract years while everything was going well for the Flames (until playoffs) could have been super risky. I’d rather they get another season or two under their belts before committing. Especially Mangiapane if they are going to pay him as. 35+ goal scorer, I’d like to see him replicate it before.
Also this still gives them the flexibility of rebuilding in two or three years if Huberdeau and Weegar don’t sign.
