Andrew Mangiapane has been a frequent subject of trade speculation, with the Edmonton Oilers reportedly shopping the 29-year-old winger due to his reduced role and limited production.
Mangiapane’s contract carries $3.6M cap hit through 2026-27. He also has a full no-trade clause but is reportedly open to waiving it for a better opportunity.
Speaking on Sportsnet 1440, NHL insider Jason Gregor talked about the connection between the Vancouver Canucks and Edmonton Oilers for trade talks. He also floated the idea of a potential swap involving Jake DeBrusk coming to Edmonton.
“I’ve heard some whispers of Vancouver. There’s, there’s a few different teams, like the one player’s name who’s out there right now is Jake DeBrusk right and he has a no move clause for two more years. Would he wave to come to Edmonton.would he wave to come to Edmonton,” Greger said.
He added:
“Now, here’s the thing, Vancouver and Edmonton. They traded pod Coles in Edmonton, the orders. Traded Kane to Vancouver, so the two management teams aren’t afraid to deal with one another, right? And so it’s there. So there would, I think that’s a really harder trade to make, to be honest, favoring the left side.”
Jake DeBrusk has faced scrutiny in Vancouver, leading to frequent scratches and fueling trade rumors. He is currently signed to a seven-year, $38.5 million contract. The 29-year-old forward has accumulated 20 points through ten goals and as many assists in 40 games this season.
