The Calgary Flames have crossed another restricted free agent off their list, announcing the signing of 23-year-old Andrew Mangiapane to a one-year, two way contract. It's worth $715,000 in the NHL, which was his qualifying offer from the Flames. It's been reported that Mangiapane was holding out in the hopes of getting in the vicinity of $915,000, but finally relented.
Mangiapane has played 54 games in the NHL so far, managing eight goals and 13 points. The left winger was selected by the Flames in the sixth round, 166th overall, of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
According to CapFriendly, Calgary now has $6.34 million left in cap space with one RFA left to sign; Matthew Tkachuk. Tkachuk finished last season with 77 points, including 34 goals. He has not yet attended Calgary's training camp, which opened Friday, as he awaits a new deal.
