Andrew Mangiapane, known for his relentless work ethic and scoring touch, went undrafted in both the OHL and the 2014 NHL Draft. He broke through with a 104-point season for the Barrie Colts before being taken 166th overall by Calgary in 2015. After debuting in 2017, Mangiapane steadily grew into a dependable NHL winger, peaking in 2021–22 with 35 goals and 55 points.
Last season, he suited up for the Washington Capitals, tallying 28 points (14 goals, 14 assists) over 81 games, plus two points in 10 playoff appearances . Over his career (498 NHL games), he’s amassed 123 goals and 120 assists, along with an impressive playoff resume that includes 14 points in 37 games .
On July 1, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers secured Mangiapane on a two-year deal worth $7.2 million (AAV $3.6 million) . His contract also features a first-year full no‑trade clause and a restricted clause in year two, as confirmed by credible reports . The move came after key Oilers players, including McDavid and Draisaitl, made personal outreach to help recruit him.
Oilers’ GM Stan Bowman praised Mangiapane’s versatility, competitiveness, and ability to play both wings in the top 6, noting his value in penalty killing and puck‑extending play. Edmonton’s aim is to bolster depth scoring and add playoff‑tested grit as they chase a Stanley Cup after making back‑to‑back Finals .
For Mangiapane, joining the Oilers is more than just a fresh start — it’s personal. He said he weighed interest from Toronto but felt genuinely “wanted” by Edmonton, where teammate calls and franchise ambition drew him west . With his motor, hockey sense, and past international accolades—he was MVP of Canada’s 2021 World Championship team—Edmonton expects him to bring energy and secondary scoring to an already potent lineup .
