Oilers Sign Mangiapane, Tomkins After Offseason Changes

News summary

The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $3.6 million, aiming to strengthen their offense following key departures, including Evander Kane. Mangiapane, 29, who previously played for the Calgary Flames and Washington Capitals, is expected to fill a top-six winger role and contribute on the penalty kill. He looks to rebound from a down year in Washington and is anticipated to play alongside elite centremen such as Leon Draisaitl or Connor McDavid. The Oilers also signed goaltender Matt Tomkins, an Edmonton native, to a two-year, two-way contract with a $775,000 AAV; Tomkins played last season with the Syracuse Crunch in the AHL and had brief NHL action with the Tampa Bay Lightning. These acquisitions are part of the Oilers’ strategy to maintain their competitive core while introducing new talent after consecutive Stanley Cup finals appearances. Team management is urging a forward-looking approach as preparations begin for the upcoming season.
