According to Cap Friendly, he is.
I like this deal for both sides. Avoids the bad blood of arbitration, and gives Mangi 2 years to develop, and then (hopefully) justify a big salary jump.
I'd love to offload Ryan, and reallocate that money into the UFA/RFA market, but I just don't see a deal, even for a 3rd or 4th round pick.
A couple more years of cap jail for the Flames, then Gio is gone, the buyouts are finished, and the Looch deal will be in the home stretch. Of course, then you have to re-up Chucky, Johnny (I think he will still be here) and others. I guess the cycle never ends...
