The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oilers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Oilers</a> have signed forward Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $3.6 million. <a href="https://t.co/z2ZycYsFxZ">pic.twitter.com/z2ZycYsFxZ</a>
&mdash; Edmonton Oilers (@EdmontonOilers) <a href="https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1940243833088090432?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 2, 2025</a></blockquote>

The 29-year-old left-shot winger appeared in 81 games for the Washington Capitals last season, scoring 14 goals and 28 points, adding a goal and an assist in 10 playoff games. It was a down year offensively for Mangiapane after spending the first seven years of his career with the Calgary Flames, who drafted him in the sixth round of the 2015.
In Calgary, he made a name for himself as a pesky winger, standing at 5&#8217;10, 183 lbs. He scored 0.52 points per game with the Flames during his tenure, tallying 109 goals and 215 points in 417 games played. He set a career high in goals and points in 2021-22 with the Flames, scoring 35 goals and 55 points in 82 games, following up his final two years in Calgary with seasons that saw him score 17 goals and 43 points, and 14 goals and 40 points, respectively.
And while he had a down year in terms of his offensive output this past season, he remained an excellent play driver. According to HockeyViz, Mangiapane drove offence and defence six percent rates above league average, while driving play on the penalty kill to the tune of a two percent rate above league average. His overall impact saw him as a first-line player — something he&#8217;s maintained, or done better, in five of his eight NHL seasons.
The Capitals were able to dictate the pace of play well with Mangiapane on the ice at five-on-five, controlling 52.8 percent of the shot attempt share, 53.9 percent of the scoring chance share, 52.8 percent of the high-danger scoring chance share and 53.4 percent of the expected goal share. They controlled 50.9 percent of the goal share, too, slightly outscoring the opposition 28-27 with him on the ice.
Mangiapane <a href="https://flamesnation.ca/news/report-calgary-flames-forward-andrew-mangiapane-undergoes-shoulder-surgery">underwent shoulder surgery</a> after the 2022-23 season, and it led to a dip in his shot-taking, from averaging 7.5 shots on goal per hour to 5.4, while his individual expected goals per hour fell from an average of 0.89 per hour to 0.76.
According to <a href="https://puckpedia.com/signing/9927">PuckPedia</a>, Mangiapane&#8217;s deal will see him carry a no-trade clause in the first year of his contract, and a five-team approved trade list in his second year. Both years carry a $1 million salary and a $2.6 million signing bonus. The Oilers now have $950,834 in cap space, according to PuckPedia.
The Oilers were relatively quiet on Day 1 of free agency before signing Mangiapane. They traded winger Viktor Arvidsson to the Boston Bruins early in the day in a salary cap dump that saw them get back a 2027 fifth-round pick, while signing defenceman Riley Stillman and goaltender Matt Tomkins in organizational depth moves for the Bakersfield Condors.
Meanwhile, the team saw <a href="https://oilersnation.com/2025/07/01/corey-perry-signs-with-los-angeles-kings/">Corey Perry</a> sign with the Los Angeles Kings, <a href="https://oilersnation.com/2025/07/01/edmonton-oilers-connor-brown-four-year-deal-new-jersey-devils/">Connor Brown</a> with the New Jersey Devils and <a href="https://oilersnation.com/2025/07/01/san-jose-sharks-sign-former-edmonton-oilers-defenceman-john-klingberg/">John Klingberg</a> with the San Jose Sharks.
