US Edition"Not the Most Fun to Play Against": Oilers GM Reveals Reason Behind Signing $7.2 Million Forward Andrew Mangiapane
- On the opening day of free agency, the Edmonton Oilers agreed to a two-year agreement worth $7.2 million with 29-year-old forward Andrew Mangiapane.
- Mangiapane joined the Oilers after spending the previous season with the Washington Capitals, following seven years with Calgary, Edmonton’s rivals in the province.
- Oilers GM Stan Bowman cited Mangiapane's versatility, ability to play both wings, penalty killing, and fit into the team's top-six offense as key reasons for the signing.
- Mangiapane recorded 14 goals and 28 points over 81 games last season, following a career-best 35-goal, 55-point campaign in 2021-22. Reflecting on last season, he acknowledged it was somewhat below his usual standards but expressed confidence in returning to his previous form.
- The signing adds a familiar, hardworking player known for being a pest on ice, and the Oilers will test if he can succeed where previous players have not in Edmonton's top six.
