It\u2019s a shame that things didn\u2019t quite work out in Edmonton.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NHL_Sid\/status\/2018041782685028431\" class=\"lien_marqueur\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8211;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>While he certainly didn&#8217;t do everything he could to earn his spot in the lineup, you can&#8217;t fault Mangiapane alone for the lack of playing time and why would he want to put in an effort if the head coach doesn&#8217;t want him in the lineup?<\/p>\n<p>Toronto can capitalize on a tough cap situation out in Edmonton<\/p>\n<p>That feels very similar to Toronto and their David Kampf situation, though they would be able to actually add a bit more if they were to take on Mangiapane&#8217;s deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.puckpedia.com\/player\/andrew-mangiapane\" class=\"lien_marqueur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">With him making $3.6-million,<\/a> it&#8217;s quite a bit to ask for when it comes to taking on a player with only 12 points in 47 games and is on pace for some of his lowest numbers in his career.<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re getting another year out of him in a retool, and by taking on his deal it may give them an extra draft pick or prospect as part of a sweetener for absorbing his cap.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto was already heavily linked to Mangiapane and the connection between him and current GM Brad Treliving from their time in Calgary is well-known.<\/p>\n<p>It may rub fans the wrong way, especially depending on what goes back (potentially Bobby McMann) but if that leads to Toronto earning themselves one or two of Edmonton&#8217;s top picks then it&#8217;ll be worth it.<\/p>\n<p>Besides, they can always use those picks in a much bigger deal down the line.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All-in-all, there\u2019s a good chance that Mangiapane will be in a different jersey by the end of the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":442324,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5106],"tags":[1824,3819,146,5,51114,20,5172,4,14978,66,31,5171],"class_list":{"0":"post-442323","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-toronto-maple-leafs","8":"tag-andrew-mangiapane","9":"tag-bobby-mcmann","10":"tag-edmonton-oilers","11":"tag-hockey","12":"tag-leafs-trade-rumours","13":"tag-maple-leafs","14":"tag-mapleleafs","15":"tag-nhl","16":"tag-nhl-trade-rumours","17":"tag-toronto","18":"tag-toronto-maple-leafs","19":"tag-torontomapleleafs"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/116003867549874339","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442323","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442323"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442323\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/442324"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442323"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442323"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442323"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
