Oilers Make Statement With Mangiapane Healthy Scratch

Tyler and Liam react to the surprising decision to healthy scratch Andrew Mangiapane ahead of last night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets. The late scratch raised plenty of eyebrows, and the guys dig into what it could mean for Mangiapane’s role with the team and where he currently fits in the Oilers’ lineup.

They also discuss how trade rumours surrounding Mangiapane have started to heat up over the past few days, why his name may be coming up in league circles, and whether Edmonton could realistically explore moving him sooner rather than later. Is this simply a coaching decision, or could it be a sign of bigger moves on the horizon?

Tyler and Liam break down the situation, the timing of the scratch, and what to watch for next as the Oilers navigate their roster moving forward.

  4. I cant imagine there's a trade partner out there for Mangi. Unless we are putting in a draft pick with it which would be idiotic. Youd have to think the only trade route would be to take in another teams problem player who matches dollar for dollar

  6. Oilers should fire their pro scouting staff… Jeff Skinner, arvidsson, mangi, Frederic… UNACCEPTABLE.
    I'd rather still have Broberg and Holloway.

  7. He has been terrible all along! Bad signing! Who was the brainiac that thought he was going to be anything but an energy…plug! Too small and no finish! Go get a bigger meaner player that can play up and down the lineup! We are to small and soft as a team!

  12. Never liked this signing, but I will like the trade that removes this guy from the roster, outside of it being a complete fleecing.

    Stop signing players on hopes and prayers. Start signing players on proven performance, ffs.

  13. He's playing like he regrets singing here. It's plain and simple he's not playing with anywhere near the energy he needs to. It's pathetic and Tyler your right he should be embarrassed. It's cases like this where guaranteed contracts should be gone. He's cheating himself, the team and the fans.

  14. Oilers would have been better off signing Klim Kostin over Mangiapane. All season they have been looking for players and asking players to play that style that are not equipped. I’m still hoping Fredric comes around but he’s brutal right now.
