Get to Know New Washington Capital Andrew Mangiapane
June 28, 2024 by Nathan Moser
The Washington Capitals continued to address their offense on Thursday, trading for winger Andrew Mangiapane from the Calgary Flames in exchange for a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft (that the Capitals had originally acquired from the Colorado Avalanche). This is a very smart move by general manager Brian MacLellan and his staff, as Mangiapane has one year left on his contract. If both sides find a fit together, he can sign a long-term deal. If not, Washington can always move him for another asset at the trade deadline. Some Capitals fans may not know a lot about Mangiapane. He has spent his entire NHL tenure in the Western Conference, so there has been a limited number of times he has played against Washington. He is a player worth being excited about.
