"Multiple teams are involved in trade conversations, as we could see general managers throughout the league use the upcoming Olympic break in February as a mini trade deadline, and get most of their heavy lifting completed before the games begin. Nevertheless, there's lots of action on and off the ice to discuss, here's the very latest from around the NHL."
"The Edmonton Oilers have already been busy on the trade market this season, and their next move could involve underperforming winger Andrew Mangiapane. The 29-year-old is signed through next season at $3.6 million AAV, and holds a no-trade clause. Mangiapane has been in and out of the Oilers' lineup of late, and has dressed in 40 games, scoring six goals, and adding five assists for 11 points."
