Confirmed with Link: Janmark 3x1.45

[McDrai]

So stoked to have Janmark and Brown back! They were penalty killing beasts in the playoffs

In fairness, he was a 4th liner all regular season but he was also quietly good especially defensively all season even though the offensive numbers weren't there. 1.45m is solid 4th line money in a rising cap world so he's worth a good deal more than that if he plays like he did in the playoffs and at worst he's worth that money if he plays like he did in the regular season. Getting him and Brown locked up at 2.45m is about as good as we could ask for although I wish Brown was signed for an extra year or two.

I think that Janmark is a solid 3rd line player and a 4th line role reduces his effectiveness just because of the limited ice time. Granted I was one of a few Janmark (and Brown) supporters during the regular season so maybe I am a bit biased.
Ultimatley though I think that playing Janmark less than 10 minutes a night (like a 4th liner) would be a mistake.

Well the fact that he's spent the entire year as a 4th liner, including in the playoffs where he was 12th among forwards in ESTOI would make me think that he'll be a 4th liner moving forward.

I manitain that he was misused in the regular season.
Playing Janmark less than 10 minutes TOI would be a mistake IMO.

Janmark’s been a beast ever since he’s been with the Oilers. I’m glad to have him back for 3 more years.

 

[NedPlimpton]

f*** yeah.

 

[tiger_80]

Had me a wee bit worried there.

A bit of a raise, but one that I personally have no issues with.

A bit high, but one could justify it. He's better than an average 4th liner.

You can be pessimistic all you want. Fact is Kane was still effective for the majority of games this season with a sports hernia. He'll be effective with a summer to recover/have surgery, and there's no need to rush him back if he's not ready for start of season. The signings of Arvidsson and Skinner have enabled that.

Now there's an argument that his money could be better spent on a 3C + Ceci upgrade, but there's also an argument to be made that he could be very effective on a line with someone like Holloway+McLeod or McLeod/Holloway and Perry, while giving the Oilers some physicality that they lack.

I think it really depends on Henrique's ask and what the market is on Ceci upgrades.

I feel Kane is slipping. He's barely a top 6 forward now and is pretty useless defensively. This should be his last year as an Oiler. If they can move him next summer, they should do it, unless he has a really strong season (like 30 goals).

 

[Kerberos]

Awesome. f***ing awesome. Was hoping we'd get this done.

 

[The Nuge]

Love it! He had a bit of a down year offensively, but damn did he ever bring it when it mattered. I’m glad he’s locked up with some term

 

[TheGingaNinja]

Glad we got him locked up, very nice. Best FA period we've had in a while imo, with only the J. Brown signing being questionable...and if you're only questionable signing is a 7/8 D tweener, then youve had a pretty good day.

 

[dssource]

This guy is a playoff performer and I am very happy he is back.

 

[NeverForget06]

Love this guy! So happy he is back. He wants to be an Oiler - always good to keep those guys around

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Would've hated to read a 'Janmark Appreciation Thread'.

So stoked to see him back after such a beastly playoffs.

 

[McDoused]

Just wanted to reiterate how much I love this man. Welcome home Janitor.

 

[oXo Cube]

I'm seriously considering buying a jersey.

Am I stupid?

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

There was better value available out there at these numbers. Too much term and too much cap for a guy who was one of our worst forwards during the season and might've caught a hot streak this playoffs.

 

[McIce Whole]

Another year of watching Janmark and Brown on the pk

Glad we brought the janitor back.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Thought he'd sign a nice ticket somewhere else, glad he's back in Oil country!

 

[North Cole]

I'm seriously considering buying a jersey.

Am I stupid?

No, embrace the depth jersey. Thisistheway

 

[Lay Z Boy GM]

I'm seriously considering buying a jersey.

Am I stupid?

You might be stupid but I would be too because I love it. Get the jersey bro

Janmark has the drive to win that you want in every player, he’s a warrior and he won’t disappoint in the playoffs when it matters most

 

[TheNumber4]

This guy will do everything your team needs to win at maximum effort. Fights. PKs. Defends extremely well. And now scores clutch goals.

Glad he's back. He's beeen a great soldier for us for years now and deserves to see this story out in Edmonton.

Disagree. Last season seems like the anomaly in his production dropping, and it normalized in the playoffs. Elite penalty killer when paired with Brown. Has always provided high defensive impact with low end 3rd line production. At 1.45M you aren't finding better than that.

He had a PDO of 106.3 and oiSH% of 13.2% in the playoffs, including a 30% oiSH% on the penalty kill. Had a FF% of 43.79%, xGF% of 44.56%. Only HDCF% was decent at 52.11%. The anomaly IS the playoffs. If anything his regular season was the more "normalized" number relative to possession/shot metrics.

Janmark is the least Swedish looking Swede I've ever seen.

He looks like his mother gave birth in a Magnitogorsk steel plant

Lol. Shillington too. Doesn't look at all like a Swede and can't even spell his own name right.
