3 Potential Landing Spots for Flames' Andrew Mangiapane


Calgary Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane is entering the final season of his contract. Because of this, he is starting to create some chatter in the rumor mill as a trade candidate. If he is officially made available, interest in his services will be there. Let's go over three specific clubs who could look to acquire him now. 

Chicago Blackhawks: The Chicago Blackhawks are a team to watch when it comes to Mangiapane. They need to add more impactful forwards to their roster to help Connor Bedard, so Mangiapane could make sense for them. With that, if he had a strong year in Chicago, he could net the rebuilding Blackhawks a nice return at the deadline. 

New York Islanders: The New York Islanders are going to surely look to add to their forward group this summer. They need more scoring, and Mangiapane has the potential to give them that. He has a 35-goal season on his resume, and that could be enough for the Islanders to take a shot on him. 

Washington Capitals: The Washington Capitals will look to add on the wing this offseason. Mangiapane would be a strong addition to their top six and would also be an option for their power play. After how poorly the Capitals scored this season, bringing in a player like Mangiapane would make sense for them.
