The post-Olympics batch of Edmonton Oilers rumors suggest that a trade could be imminent involving a much-maligned forward.<\/p>\n
The post-Olympic batch of Edmonton Oilers<\/a> rumors brings an interesting insight. A trade could be imminent involving one of the most-talked-about players on the team this season.<\/p>\n According to insider Frank Seravalli, the Oilers could be getting ready to trade Andrew Mangiapane<\/a> within the next few days. The imminent trade could mean good news for Oil Country as the team tries to clear cap space ahead of the March 6 trade deadline.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s been a little bit of a grind trying to move that deal. I\u2019d expect that to potentially materialize here in the next three to four days.\u201d<\/p>\n The comment made on the February 23 edition of Frankly Hockey could be the confirmation of one of the most pressing Oilers rumors.<\/p>\n The club signed Mangiapane as a free agent this past offseason. However, the Toronto native struggled out of the gate. By late November, the talk was that the Oilers wanted to move on from Mangiapane.<\/p>\n Now, a deal could be on the horizon. Since rosters have officially unfrozen, the club is free to make a trade happen whenever it comes to fruition. Unfortunately, Oilers fans should not expect a significant return for Mangiapane. The move is likely a cap dump, making it hard for the team to recoup anything of value.<\/p>\n Oilers Rumors Suggest Mangiapane Has Suitors<\/p>\n While the Oilers may not expect to get much from trading Mangiapane, another insider, David Pagnotta, purports that \u201ca few teams\u201d could be in the mix to land the 29-year-old.<\/p>\n As the #LetsGoOilers<\/a> navigate the trade waters, I\u2019m told they remain in talks with a few teams regarding Andrew Mangiapane. Expectation is he will be moved by the trade deadline, which is now less than 10 days and 20 hours away.<\/p>\n As far as Pagnotta goes, Mangiapane could be gone by the NHL trade deadline. That\u2019s 10 days away. As such, his timeline is much broader than Seravalli\u2019s. Still, it\u2019s reasonable to assume that the latest Oilers rumors will come true.<\/p>\n Regarding the specific teams in on Mangiapane<\/a>, just about every contender could be kicking the tires on him. However, his $3.6 million cap hit could get in the way. It\u2019s unlikely the Oilers retain anything on Mangiapane\u2019s deal. That\u2019s why the club shouldn\u2019t expect to get much in return.<\/p>\n Mangiapane Could Be Valuable Depth Piece<\/p>\n Despite his struggles, the former 30-goal scorer could be a valuable depth piece. Oilers rumors suggest Mangiapane could become a solid middle-six forward on a team looking for depth. Clubs like the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche may not be able to fit him under the cap.<\/p>\n But a team like the LA Kings<\/a> or San Jose Sharks, with cap space to play with, could find him useful at the deadline. These are teams with cap space and need more depth scoring as they chase a playoff spot this season.<\/p>\n Ultimately, Oilers rumors within the next couple of days should shed light on who could be eyeing Mangiapane and how soon a deal could happen. Fans should stay tuned because the Oilers will be looking to build as much depth around Connor McDavid.<\/p>\n The Oilers\u2019 competitive window could be closing<\/a>, making this NHL trade deadline one of the most crucial ones in team history.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tNestor Quixtan<\/a> Seasoned NHL analyst and baseball writer focused on covering clubs across each league with news, analysis, and insights.
