Here are highlights:<\/p>\n<p>The Athletic\u2019s stat analyst Dom Luszczyszyn\ud83d\udcc8 @domluszczyszyn<br \/>A perfectly fair deal for Andrew Mangiapane as a top nine guy, but there\u2019s probably some upside here if the Oilers use him in a top six role.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Adam @OilersAdam<br \/>Andrew Mangiapane took less money to be in Edmonton. Love this signing.<\/p>\n<p>Rangers fan Leo @Leo__260<br \/>This year\u2019s Arvidsson and Skinner<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Joel Bacon @JoelBacon76<br \/>I was excited last year when they signed Arvidsson and Skinner. In my mind I was picturing 2016 versions of both of those players so I let it slide about Holloway and Broberg. I\u2019ll reserve judgement on this until Mangie proves himself. Fool me once, as the saying goes\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Doppa D @Doppa_D<br \/>Solid add\u2026 was always a fan of his. Now sign Isaac Howard too and we\u2019re starting to cook.<\/p>\n<p>The Athletic Winnipeg hockey writer Murat Ates @WPGMurat<br \/>I like this player, particularly for that price. Edmonton did well here.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers Now host Bob Stauffer @Bob_Stauffer<br \/>Andrew Mangiapane scored 35 goals with Calgary in 2021-22.<br \/>Was 5th in TOI on both the Flames PP and PK amongst FWDs in his final 3 seasons in Calgary.<br \/>Will get an extended look in the Edmonton Oilers top -6. Had offers North of 4M AAV.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Oilers-4-Life @oilers_life<br \/>Notice how Bob (Stauffer) says \u201cmiddle-6\u201d winger not top-6. This means Andrew Mangiapane and not Brock Boeser. A very underwhelming offseason with the no upgrade in net. The mismanagement that has occurred during McDavid\u2019s era has been nothing short of pathetic.<\/p>\n<p>Sportsnet Calgary\u2019s Eric Francis @EricFrancis<br \/>Andrew Mangiapane is an Edmonton Oiler.<br \/>Wow.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Karman Gill @Kgill39<br \/>Mangiapane spent majority of his last season with Lars Eller and scored 14 goals.<br \/>Arvidsson spent a lot of his time with Leon and scored 15 goals.<br \/>Hmm..<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan DNL @OilerAnalytics<br \/>Even strength goals the last 3 seasons:<br \/>\u2022 Andrew Mangiapane (39)<br \/>\u2022 Corey Perry (30)<br \/>\u2022 Connor Brown (16)<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Mark \ud83d\udcf8 @TheLineBlender<br \/>RNH-Frederic-Mangiapane would be the best 3rd line the Oilers have ever seen<\/p>\n<p>Calgary Flames website Matchsticks &amp; Gasoline @MatchsticksCGY<br \/>At least Edmonton is spending their limited space on Mangiapane instead of goaltending or defence upgrades.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Kennedy @kennedystrash<br \/>You have to say Andrew Mangiapane in the thickest Italian accent possible. this is the only way<\/p>\n<p>Edmonton Journal hockey writer Jim Matheson @jimmathesonnhl<br \/>Mangiapane\u2019s agent is Allan Roy who also reps Frederic. Fair money and term for legit top 9 winger who is somewhere between the 35 goal seemingly out of body experience he had one year in Calgary and last year\u2019s 14 in Washington. Best bet he is 20-20 guy<\/p>\n<p>Oilers Nation writer Zach Laing @zjlaing<br \/>The oilers did right by letting klingberg, perry, and brown walk at the prices they signed for. mangiapane is some tidy work and the oilers are in the green.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Klima\u2019s Lid @thackattack41<br \/>The spelling of Mangiapane on Oilers Twitter for the next 2 years is going to be horrifying, considering half of you can\u2019t even spell Stecher correctly\u2026Last season, Mangiapane\u2019s offensive production decreased; however, he averaged 3 fewer minutes of ice time per game than what he previously received in CGY. In addition, his primary C was Lars Eller with rotational Ws filling in. Context is important.<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Adhi @OilerAlert<br \/>It\u2019s quite likely that Mangiapane is the biggest addition of the off-season<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Dyl @dhockey13<br \/>We are about to run it back with Skinner and Pickard and our big \u201cadd\u201d is going to be Mangiapane.<\/p>\n<p>Former MC79 blogger and Oilers fan Dennis King @DKingBH<br \/>Turns out nothing went in the net with Mangiapane and Eller together. Once you separated them? Both were better<\/p>\n<p>Oilers fan Paul Almeida @AzorcanGlobal<br \/>Mangiapane scored 35 goals in 2021-22 with the #Flames<br \/>Not big but has a high compete &amp; skill level.<br \/>Scored 14G 14A last year for the #Caps in a bottom 6 role with Lars Ellers as his C with about 13 mins of ice time.<br \/>He should be able to PK as well.<\/p>\n<p>NHL player analyst HockeyIceStorm @HockeyIceStorm<br \/>Mangiapane is an energetic, high-IQ winger who finds seams &amp; finishes with flair\u2014especially in special teams\u2014but at just 5\u201910\u201d, his impact fluctuates in physical play &amp; can fade without consistent linemates.
