Andrew Mangiapane signed a two-year deal this past summer. His production has slowly been decreasing since his 55-point performance in the 2021-22 season.
Even if he only plays on the third line for the Oilers, that should be plenty of ice time to at least hit the 28-point threshold of last season. However, if Mangiapane sees the majority of his ice time alongside one of Connor McDavid or Leon Draisaitl, it would be tough to bet against him having a career year.
They play the games for a reason, but on paper, Mangiapane is bookmarked to have his best season in many years in 2025-26.
