3 names from Frank Seravalli's trade targets who could make sense for the Chicago Blackhawks

Andrew Mangiapane

Coming in at #17 on Seravalli's board is Calgary Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane.

The 28-year old forward is coming off of a down year in Calgary which saw him score 14 goals and 40 points over 75 games. His best season to date was the 2021-22 campaign, where Mangiapane scored a career-high 35 goals and 55 points.

Since his career season, the Calgary Flames have experienced a lot of turnover both on and off the ice, and the team has not been able to get back into the playoffs since. Mangiapane is a player who has remained a 40 point player during the last two seasons, but many know there is another level to his game.

Mangiapane really got his name known more throughout the league during the 2020-21 World Championships where he had 11 points in 7 games, winning tournament MVP. He was also teammates with Connor Bedard at the 2023-24 World Championships, where Mangiapane wore a "A" on his jersey.

He is a very strong two-way player who knows how to create offense and can be a presence on both the powerplay and penalty kill. As more young players make their way to the Blackhawks roster, Mangiapane could be a very nice complementary piece alongside them. Being in a role where he gets more consistent top-six minutes could help to bring his scoring up.

Mangiapane will be entering the final year of his contract paying him $5.8 million per season. The Blackhawks likely would want to talk about an extension before making a move. His modified no-trade clause also means he gets more leverage in where he goes. However, if he is available, the Blackhawks and Mangiapane could be a good fit for each other.
