Overview
- Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Mangiapane would consider waiving his no‑movement clause for a bigger role, and that Edmonton is open to a trade.
- Boston is being highlighted as a logical destination that could offer middle‑six minutes and power‑play opportunity compared with his current deployment.
- Mangiapane returned to Edmonton’s lineup against the Bruins on December 31, was slotted on the second line, logged 7:31 of ice time, and was assessed 12 penalty minutes after a recent benching.
- He has 11 points in 40 games with a team‑worst minus‑17 rating while averaging just over 13 minutes per game, contrasting with earlier production in Calgary that included a 35‑goal season.
- The 29‑year‑old is signed for two seasons at a $3.6 million AAV, and reports also mention the Maple Leafs and Sabres as possible suitors with no deal in place yet.
