The Calgary Flames have their man.
The team has signed forward Andrew Mangiapane to a three-year contract with an AAV of $5.8 million.
Mangiapane had a career year in 2021-22, scoring 35 goals and 55 points in 82 games. Mangiapane has 132 points in 260 games, solid numbers for a player drafted in the sixth round of the 2015 draft.
At the time of when the NHL pulled out of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Mangiapane was tied with Connor McDavid (17) for the most goals by a Canadian, helping to spike potential interest in him making the roster. If he can find that same offensive ability moving forward, the Flames will be in good shape.
With the Flames making major changes this summer due to the departures of Matthew Tkachuk and Johnny Gaudreau, having a familiar face back in the fold should excite Calgarians as they enter new territory.
