I can't see it being a huge deal.
What percentage of the season could Mangiapane realistically spend in the minors? Even with no injuries on the roster, he is likely here most, if not all of the year. Any significant injuries and there is zero chance that he is in the A.
Let's say he spent 20 games in Stockton. And let's say the contract is $1M/$200K, two-way deal.
That means that - by getting the two-way - they save a whopping $200k.
IF he spends that time in the minors. On an $80+M budget. I doubt they care at all.
Fitting him and Tkachuk under the cap - as thus needing to save the $200k on his NHL salary - is far more important.
