Oilers' Mangiapane Open to Trade for Bigger Role
30 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Andrew Mangiapane may waive no-movement clause for prominent role.
- Bruins struggling, Sabres surging, both need forward depth.
- Mangiapane seeking a fresh start after limited success with Oilers.
Edmonton Oilers forward Andrew Mangiapane is reportedly considering a trade, expressing openness to waiving his no-movement clause. He is seeking a team that can offer him a more significant role, suggesting a desire for a change of scenery after a challenging tenure with the Oilers.
Mangiapane's current season statistics with Edmonton have been modest, with five goals and six assists in 39 games. However, his past performance, including a 35-goal season, could still attract NHL teams looking to acquire offensive depth.
Potential trade partners include the Boston Bruins, who are experiencing a recent slump and looking to improve their middle-six winger positions. The Buffalo Sabres, currently on an impressive eight-game winning streak, may also see Mangiapane as a valuable addition to their top nine forwards.
