Seems like a lot of moving parts, and seeing as the Flames already have one retained spot occupied by Markstrom. I suspect they want to leave the other two open for pending UFA’s this year and next.
I'd take his full salary to get the best return. Skinner has 3 years left on his deal, the return to get rid of that should be pretty high. Mangiapane makes $3.2 mil less so I don't see the need to retain on him in this deal. I would to get 11 OV though.
