Overview
- Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman says the Oilers are “definitely looking” to move Mangiapane after recent healthy scratches and reduced ice time.
- The Fourth Period reports conversations with Anaheim, Detroit and Winnipeg, while Toronto was previously mentioned but is not viewed as a realistic fit by Friedman.
- Winnipeg is described by multiple reporters as a plausible landing spot given its search for scoring help, yet no agreement has been reached.
- Edmonton is seeking a grinder or two-way forward in return, according to multiple reports.
- Mangiapane has 5 goals and 11 points in 40 games and carries a $3.6 million AAV through next season with a full no-trade clause until June 15, so any move needs his approval.
