With the Oilers set to play tomorrow against the Dallas Stars Walman's debut with the team will have to wait a bit but he did have an opportunity to send a message to the fan base today. <h3>Jake Walman Sends A Message To The Edmonton Oilers Fans</h3> In a new video posted on social media by the Edmonton Oilers Walman spoke directly to the fans from the airport in Edmonton. In his remarks, Walman said a quick hello and made sure to mention how excited he was to get to work and play in front of the fans. Hey Oilers fans it's Jake Walman just landed in Edmonton couldn't be more fired up and excited to get it going. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/edmontonoilers/status/1898136428615549357'> </a></blockquote></div> Walman looks like he will be an extremely underrated add for the Oilers at the deadline as he has impressive underlying numbers, particularly offensively and in the transition game considering he played on the San Jose Sharks. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/FriesHNIC/status/1897809309561745494'> </a></blockquote></div> Walman also brings a swagger and confidence that the Oilers seem to be lacking this season without a player like Evander Kane in the lineup due to injury. The Oilers will take on the Stars tomorrow night which will likely be Walman's first opportunity to show off his game and for Oilers fans to see how he fits into the plan heading into the stretch run.
