The Calgary Flames traded forward Andrew Mangiapane to the Washington Capitals on Thursday night for a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.
Mangiapane had 40 points (14 goals, 26 assists) in 75 games for the Flames this past season. He has reached the 40-point mark in each of the last three seasons and recorded a career-high 55 points (35-20) in 2021-22.
“Today’s trade provides us with an increase in valuable draft capital and we have continued to emphasize the importance of how upcoming drafts will influence the future of our franchise,” Flames general manager Craig Conroy said in a release.
“Additionally, this move affords us with more salary cap and roster flexibility to make decisions after July 1st.”
Mangiapane was selected by the Flames in the sixth round (No. 166 overall) of the 2015 NHL Draft.
He has recorded 215 points (109-106) over 417 career regular-season games with Calgary. He also has 12 points (6-6) in 27 career playoff games with the Flames.
