Oilers waive Mangiapane to clear cap space ahead of deadline

With the trade deadline five days away, Edmonton placed forward Andrew Mangiapane and defenseman Alec Regula on waivers to gain roster and cap flexibility. Mangiapane, 29, has 14 points in 52 games and has been a poor fit for the Oilers, posting a team-worst -17 with unfavorable five-on-five metrics; his no-move clause limited trade options. If he clears waivers, Edmonton could stash him in the minors to save about $1.15 million of his $3.6 million cap hit. Teams such as the Maple Leafs have been linked to Mangiapane, while other players on waivers include Guillaume Brisebois, Robby Fabbri, and Luke Kunin.
