The GM has a tendency to sacrifice long term deals with RFA players for cap reasons and this is again (see Tkachuk) another player that should not have been put in that bin. There was also a clear indication that the player was very willing to go long term - no reason to fear monger as you are doing that this would have added millions to the AAV to add a 4th or 5th year.
Mangiapane is a player you go for term with at this point every day of the week.

Wait, you think adding more years to this contract
wouldn't add millions to the AAV?
Of course it would, that's how these contracts work, or else you'd just sign him to 4-6 years instead. This was very obviously done at three years because that's the AAV Brad was comfortable with.
