I don't understand why people assume a longer deal would have been more money?

Price is a little high, term is great for the flames. If Mang earns this contract he should be contributing to a good team that attracts players, but a small second line scoring winger is exactly the type of player that can disappear in his early 30, for Mang to get a longer higher total value contract, if I were the flames I would have asked for lower aav.
