Vasily Podkolzin gives up four inches and 55 pounds to Nic Hague and doesn’t hesitate for a second to drop the gloves.
How can you not like this guy. What a gamer.
Bowman signs Mangiapane and, less than a year later, has to trade a 1st to get rid of the contract, just so he can add a 3rd/4th line player and a tweener
He also spends a 2nd rd pick to add a 4/5D after losing one acquiring a goalie who has played worse than the one he gave up
Trade details, per sources:
To #LetsGoOilers:
C Jason Dickinson (50% retained)
F Colton Dach
To #Blackhawks:
F Andrew Mangiapane

“I don’t need a break, or a fresh start. I just want to be in Edmonton, playing hockey. I want to get back there again, whatever it takes. If that sounds like a robot, then I guess I’m a robot.”

@EdmontonOilers Unpopular opinion but I’ve liked his game this year. He serves a role and does it well. He’s not just Fredric and mangipane in no mans land. However it will be good to give him some time off and allow chances for some young guys to get some time.
