I don't think it's a good idea to lock in middle 6 wingers long term. A good reminder on our own team is Mangiapane. I know more than a few of us wanted to lock in Mangi long term after his last deal. After the season he and the Flames just had, can you imagine if he was on an 8 year 6-6.5M contract? We'd have him on the list with Hubby and Kadri as anchor contracts and the outlook on our team would be even more bleak.

Hoping Sharangovich turns into a 30-30 guy with us. Reward him with a 3×5.5M deal if he does.
A 28 year old 30-30 guy in 2025/6 will be making a lot more than 3 x 5.5
