THE JANITOR RETURNS ✍️
The <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Oilers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Oilers</a> have signed forward Mattias Janmark to a one-year contract extension with an average annual value (AAV) of $1 million.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LetsGoOilers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LetsGoOilers</a> <a href="https://t.co/3FXZpBiFDw">pic.twitter.com/3FXZpBiFDw</a>

Janmark, 30, scored 10 goals and 25 points in 66 games for the Oilers this year. While he had a slow start to the year he quietly became a very solid contributor for the Oilers.
By season&#8217;s end, with Janmark on the ice at even-strength, the Oilers outscored their competition 32-30 — a positive sign and had above-average suppression rates over the course of the year. According to hockeyviz.com, Janmark provided offence at a 14 percent rate below league average, while providing defence at a five percent rate above league average.
Janmark is taking a paycut to stick around in Edmonton, too. He joined the team ahead of last season on a one-year deal paying him $1.25-million, so he trims a bit off the top to stick around and chase a Stanley Cup with the Oilers.
From an Oilers perspective, the deal makes sense. Janmark was a solid depth contributor for the team and the biggest benefit of it all might be the fact that it&#8217;s just a one-year deal. There&#8217;s little risk involved for somebody who can be a good depth piece.
