This makes me really wonder what the sticking point was from Mangiapane's camp.
It couldn't have been the 1 way - there is a very good chance he would get claimed off of waivers, and be playing somewhere else in the NHL.
It was either the dollars or the term. Perhaps the Flames wanted a 2-3 year? If so, then this was a successful holdout on his behalf. If it was dollars, then this was a waste of time for him. I wonder what we will see.
Just hope Mangiapane comes back to the team with a positive outlook. Afterall, when life gives you breadcrumbs, you make croutons out of them!
