The Flames are 87.5% through this 56-game schedule, which means the body of work is more than enough for our annual countdown of the team’s best value contracts. Will Andrew Mangiapane take the number one spot for a second straight season? And how many new faces find themselves on this list?
Before we count ’em down for 2021, here is last year’s top five:
5. Mikael Backlund
4. Derek Ryan
3. TJ Brodie
2. Elias Lindholm
1. Andrew Mangiapane
Once again, there was only one criteria to make this list: a player couldn’t be on an entry level contract.
