Interesting to see that they split them up by NHL and AHL rosters. Also looks like Eric Gryba was given a PTO and he is training with the AHL group. Awesome. We signed a head hunter who wants to prove something to play against our A lineup. Nothing can go wrong here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if anyone from Team B makes a push to be on the opening day roster. The Flames clearly have the most likely hopefuls on Team A.

JTech780 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Have to wonder that if Mangiapane doesn't sign by the start of camp, if he is traded shortly after. It wouldn't surprise me if Treliving decides to send a message, that if you have barely established yourself as a full time NHLer, and you decide to hold out, you won't be around long.

My guess is no. But I wouldn't blame him if he did. I don't get the hold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be an incredibly dumb decision if this is the route he wants to take. Giving away assets over small details like this is not how you get better. Personally i think the agents are flipping the script. They've seen Treliving rule with an iron fist with his RFAs but open his wallet for his UFAs. Different processes and that is not meant to be a negative on Treliving, but it is difficult to hold on the line on an RFA after they've seen you be pretty generous in other areas. I mean if the trade value is there fine but what are the odds you get full value? I don't like the holdout either, but then again Brendan Lemiuex just got over 900K yesterday. Hard to argue Mangiapange is worth that much less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to argue Mangiapange is worth that much less. I think the big difference with UFAs getting the sweet $ is that theres more numbers to base a salary on. With an RFA you have max 4 years? Quite possibly the first one or two years are not truly reflective of what to come. I hate to say it but the only way the RFA values are going to remain sensible is if ALL the unsigned RFAs sit the year. (ya I know it's not going to happen) Weve seen ho long it takes to get back up to speed when you miss camp (Gaudreau) and miss up to almost half a season (Nylander). I dont see any of this happening but I think the Flames could get away with sitting a holdout more than most other teams. EDIT: FWIW I still agree the Chucky signing just hinges on clearing out cap space as opposed to term and value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him miss camp over a small amount of money that you were willing to spend on others makes little sense. Saying that, I don't think he is worth much over $900k. If the offer is only the original QO, then BT is out of touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsman1 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 how do you build your team to start the pre -season without Tkachuk and mangiapane.. and no more player movement in the foreseeable future until they are signed... Well mine would look like.. gaudreau/monahan/lindstrom Bennett/backlund/frolik lucic/jankowski/Czarnik ryan centering 2 of the following players.. Dube/smith pelly/ryder/rinaldo/Quine when tkachuk and mangiapane are signed.. they move to the second line and bennett and frolik slide down to play with Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travel_dude Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Add this to the subtext provided by Francis. It would make his earlier stament about the Flames and $200k being the difference suspect. He is still $135k of the QO, after dropping his ask by $200k. Who to believe these days? Eric FrancisVerified account @EricFrancis FollowFollow @EricFrancis More Mangiapane has made a concession of $200K after speaking to various people he is close to within the organization. His ask is now $850K on one-way deal and slightly more on two-way. He is keen to get to camp to show his value. Flames QO is $715K and player has no rights.

bosn111 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I would have no issue with Mange at 850K, he brings as much to the table as guys making significantly more than that, without even taking into account potential. Add in the P word and 850k is a no brainer. If they don't sign that quickly, the only reason would have to be waiting on Tkachuk. Hopefully the Flames sign Mange with his concessions and they can point out to Chucky "look how much he left on the table to stay, why don't you do the same."

tmac70 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Tre has spent money in worse ways... Stone kind of comes to mind. If this is true good on Mags, making a statement of confidence in his abilities. Sign him and see what Chucky does. Hey I mentioned in a different post, prefer he signs but if not in a certain time frame, his Hash Rate can sit for the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cross16 Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I really like Mangiapane and have high hopes, but without a full season he should just be taking his qualifying offer and showing up. I get the flames 100% on this one. I get players always want to extract whatever they can and I support that but I don’t see Mangiapane winning this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas I think Lou's more, wave your hand and they scatter like crows. I believe he would hardline Marner and provide an ultimatum, not be all Trudeau about it. $11mil per over 7 years, I can only imagine what Lou would have done. Pretty sure Marner would be gone. "Go sign an offer sheet, we'll take the picks". My thinking is, if you aren't ready to play hardball and make hard decisions, you shouldn't be the boss. As for Marner. Dude, you have one of the best centers in the league. Get over yourself. You're in one of the best positions to succeed. imho ARI should offer sheet him. TO should let him go.

He’s flashing Leaf money, good on the players, but he’s ruining the structure of contracts as well as boosting the average salaries when I feel they just aren’t quite ready for the inflations yet.

Take a one year, bet on yourself at the QO. Go out and earn the ask and possibly even more. Sure he does some things better but he doesn’t have enough games to warrant the raise.

What is Dubas job though? Keep salaries in check or win hockey games? Because it sure looks like Dubas is about to do what many thought he couldn't do, and that's retain his core. Did he spend money to do it, he sure did but as GM of one of the biggest and richest hockey markets why wouldn't he do that? to me, he is a tool if he doesn't use that to his advantage.
