Jake Walman signed for $ 3.4 m from San Jose Sharks in March of this year .

Walman had a breakout offensive season with the Sharks , scoring 6-26-32 in 50 GP .

With John Klingberg departed, Walman figures to be a permanent fixture on the Oilers ' second power play unit.

He transports better than Ekholm , passes better than Nurse , shoots as well or better than both and also walks the line in the attacking zone better than anyone except Evan Bouchard .

Edmonton would be wise to extend him before the season even starts.
