Oilers sign forward Mattias Janmark on Sunday.

The Edmonton Oilers have added another forward to their roster.

According to an announcement made via the organization's official social media accounts, the Oilers have agreed to terms with former Las Vegas Golden Knights forward Mattias Janmark on a new contract. The Oilers have disclosed all of the details regarding this deal, and it will be a 1 year contract that will carry an average annual value and salary cap hit of $1.25 million.

Janmark is coming off a pair of seasons with the Las Vegas Golden Knights, with the most recent being by far his most successful. Janmark had 9 goals and 16 assists for 25 points over 67 regular season games with the Golden Knights this past season and finished the campaign with a plus minus rating of +3.

This appears to have been something of a surprise signing from the Oilers given that Janmark to Edmonton did not appear to be on anyone's radar. That being said it could very well be that the 29 year old centerman was on the radar of general manager Ken Holland who is somewhat familiar with the Swedish forward.

Back in 2013 Janmark was selected in the third round (79th overall) of the 2013 National Hockey League Entry Draft and he was selected by the Detroit Red Wings who at the time were led by none other than general manager Ken Holland. Janmark would never play for the Red Wings, only playing for their American Hockey League affiliate the Grand Rapids Griffins, and would eventually break into the NHL as a member of the Dallas Stars. Nonetheless I suspect that Holland has likely been keeping an eye on Janmark throughout his career, and that may very well have played a factor in today's signing.
