Mangiapane recorded 40 points (14g, 26a) in 75 games for the Flames last season. He has one year remaining on his contract with a cap hit of $5.8 million. He also holds a modified no-trade clause that allows him an 8-team, no-trade list.
The Flames originally drafted the 28-year-old winger in the sixth round of the 2015 NHL Draft. Mangiapane has spent parts of the last seven seasons with Calgary, posting his best individual stats during the 2021-22 campaign when he amassed 55 points (35g, 20a) in 82 games.

Mangiapane also starred for Team Canada at two World Championships (2021, 2024), earning a goal medal and tournament MVP honors in 2021. He had 11 points (7g, 4a) in seven games.
Washington obtained the second-round pick involved in the deal from the Colorado Avalanche when they dealt Lars Eller at the 2023 trade deadline. The Capitals still hold their own second-round pick and Boston’s second-round pick in the 2025 draft.
Depending on how Mangiapane performs and how the Capitals perform as a team, he could be a prime candidate to get flipped at the 2025 trade deadline. Washington would be able to retain salary on him without hesitation as he’s due for unrestricted free agency next offseason.
Here’s the press release from the Capitals:
