No, I really do get that, but every player has a ceiling (especially as an RFA). Once you get up to the $6.5M AAV this player starts to lose his comparable market in a hurry and I can't see his camp being fully delusional to that fact.
The team is staring down potentially signing Huberdeau and Weegar long term and a guy like Mangiapane is pretty important to have around if you are putting a contender together. He's certainly affordable at a higher AAV given he might be one of the most important players on the roster outside of the obvious.
