I think what his agent said is being a little misinterpreted. He said that if Mangiapane were to only take a 1 year deal and repeated or improved on his 35 goal season, past precedence would give him a market value or $7-8 million. He also said right after, that the market can be unpredictable because of the cap and that there was no guarantee that a team would offer that, but it was a possibility.
He was trying to make a case for why the Flames should hedge their bets and consider locking him in longer than 1 year, but he wasn't really saying they expected that number to be in the $7-8 million.
