If after 3 years he's willing to take 6 million a year on a one year deal...he will have Mangiapane'd himself to to the point where he was never worth a longer deal at this dollar value. I'm sure the Wild will be happy to pay him more, if he shows he's a consistent 60-65 point guy.

The qualifying contract would need to be $7M. He can take that and walk to UFA.
That's the cost of not signing him to a long term contract. They gave in to giving him his desired 3-year contract with increasing salaries so he gets to walk himself to UFA. He will have a lot of leverage at that time.
