According to the specialized site DailyFaceoff, the 26-year-old winger will receive an annual salary of $5.8 million for the next few seasons with the Alberta metropolitan team.

Mangiapane ended in 2022 the second and final season of an agreement that brought him $ 2.425 million per year.

A former sixth-round pick in 2015, the Torontonian blossomed offensively last season, setting career highs in goals (35) and points (55). He had never previously reached the 20-goal plateau or scored more than 32 points in a season.

The departure of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk could allow Mangiapane to benefit from more playing time, he who has spent an average of 15 minutes and 43 seconds on the ice per game.
