The Oilers may end up regretting overpaying this player
The Edmonton Oilers find themselves evened up at a .500 record, but depth scoring continues to be a problem for the team.
During a recent episode of OilersNation Everyday, host Tyler Yaremchuk explains how he feels that Oilers forward Mattias Janmark was a big overpay by the Oilers.
The 31-year-old center was re signed to a three-year contract extension that was worth $4.35 million and holds a cap hit of 1.45 million per season.
In Janmark's defence, he was an absolute stud during the Oilers cup run during the 2024 post season. Although his contract may seem fair to some, I do agree with Tyler Yaremchuk. Mattias Janmark is a key piece of the Oilers depth, and he needs to start showing the wheels he had for the team during the playoffs. He's currently on the fourth line with Corey Perry and Derek Ryan, averaging about 11 minutes per games
Despite his age, current linemate Corey Perry had has been doing everything he can to get his team going. It's time for Janmark to start pulling his weight, or the Oilers might be find themselves regretting signing Janmark to his current pay rate.
