Edmonton Oilers Sign Andrew Mangiapane to Two-Year, $7.2M Deal

News summary

The Edmonton Oilers have signed veteran forward Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year, $7.2 million contract with an average annual value of $3.6 million. Mangiapane, 29, spent the first seven years of his NHL career with the Calgary Flames before playing last season with the Washington Capitals, where he recorded 14 goals and 28 points in 81 games. While his offensive output declined during the Capitals' playoff run, Mangiapane's previous career highs include 35 goals and 55 points in the 2021-22 season with Calgary. The Oilers expect Mangiapane to provide depth scoring and potentially contribute on the power play, filling a role similar to that of former Oilers forward Corey Perry, who recently signed with the Los Angeles Kings. A Toronto native, Mangiapane was drafted 166th overall in 2015 and has accumulated 243 points in 498 NHL games, also earning MVP honors at the 2021 World Championship representing Canada. His signing marks a notable return to Alberta, but on the opposite side of the storied Battle of Alberta rivalry.
