Despite his brief moment in the sun during the first-round of last year’s playoffs, Mattias Janmark has done little to nothing to justify his place on Edmonton’s active roster.<\/p>\n
Oilers must consider parting ways with forward<\/p>\n
What seems most surprising is that Janmark was able to negotiate a modified no-trade clause in his contract with Edmonton in July of 2024. At the time, his production was again almost non-existent, and yet he received an AAV of $1.45M for three years.<\/p>\n
Over 40 games this year, he has 1G and 8 points; and since he’s not contributing in any other way, one has to question why he’s still on the active roster, since removing his $1.45M seems like a priority right now for Stan Bowman.<\/p>\n
Janmark is a candidate to be moved, that much is obvious, likely in a bigger deal that requires Edmonton to dump salary, as in a possible Panarin trade at the deadline.<\/p>\n
Mattias’ role with Edmonton has been as a defensive forward, helping the team control play from a defensive perspective. At his best, he’s able to do that.<\/p>\n
Trouble is, he’s rarely at his best and has been slipping further down the depth-chart in terms of usage.<\/p>\n
His spot on the roster can easily be replaced with one of the several Condors’ players who’ve made a case for a call-up. forwards who can benefit from NHL experience.<\/p>\n
According to Hockey Viz, when on the ice, Janmark drives the play at 15% below league-average and also suggest he is, at best, a fourth-liner playing below replacement level.<\/p>\n
Based on most accounts, Janmark’s time with the Oilers is winding down.<\/p>\n
