EDMONTON, AB – The Edmonton Oilers announced Tuesday they have signed forward Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $3.6 million. Mangiapane (5'10", 183 lbs.) dressed in 81 regular season games for the Washington Capitals during the 2024-25 campaign, recording 14 goals and 14 assists for 28 points.

It’d be easy to look at Evan Bouchard’s new contract with a gaping mouth. It’d be simpler still, now that he’s set to become the NHL’s fourth-highest-paid defenseman, to fret about what that means for the Edmonton Oilers’ chances of competing for the Stanley Cup not only next season but for years to come.

The Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night signed forward Andrew Mangiapane, 29, to a two-year contract that carries an average annual value of $3.6 million, the club announced, adding a veteran who might be able to fill the slot left behind by Corey Perry.
