If I was Mangiapane I think you only agree to either 3 years (or less) or 8 years.

3 years has you expire at 29 years old - which sets you up for another contract.

But if he was looking at Klingberg or Kadri right now I doubt you are looking at a deal in the 4-6 year range that would be expiring at 30-32 years old which makes another big contract tough.

So if I'm Mangiapane I'm going "I'll take the 3 x $5.8M, or something like 8 years x $6.5-7.0M"

I could see why Flames might want to take the shorter option here too.
