Oilers Waive Mangiapane, Towering Regula

The Edmonton Oilers drop a bombshell just days before the March 6 trade deadline by placing Andrew Mangiapane and Alec Regula on waivers, signaling a desperate scramble for cap space and roster tweaks. Mangiapane, who inked a $7.2 million deal last summer, has struggled to mesh in Edmonton with meager production in 52 games, while the 6-foot-4 Regula logs heavy minutes but posts a brutal minus-16.
