Kailer Yamamoto - Page 2 - NHL News & Rumors

Records two points Monday Yamamoto collected a goal and an assist in Seattle's 4-3 overtime win over Tampa Bay on Monday.

Impact It was Yamamoto's first multi-point game of the campaign and brought him up to two goals and two assists through 10 appearances. The 25-year-old entered Monday's outing averaging just 11:15 of ice time this year and logged 11:36 versus the Lightning. On the plus side, Yamamoto has a regular role on the second power-play unit, which has led to him contributing two points with the man advantage in 2023-24. That will help him to make an occasional impact offensively throughout the campaign, but Yamamoto will probably need to secure a top-six role before he'll have a chance to be a regular contributor.

Impact Yamamoto slipped to 10 goals and 25 points in 58 appearances with the Oilers last season after scoring 20 goals and 41 points over 81 contests during the 2021-22 campaign. He was bought out by the Red Wings this week following a trade with Edmonton. Yamamoto may occupy a fourth-line spot with the Kraken going into 2023-24.

Placed on unconditional waivers Yamamoto was placed on unconditional waivers by the Red Wings on Friday for the purposes of buying out his contract, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

Impact Yamamoto was acquired from the Oilers with Klim Kostin on Thursday. Yamamoto and the Red Wings were unable to come to terms on a new contract, so Detroit decided to part ways with the winger. Yamamoto would have had a $3.1 million salary cap hit had he remained with the Red Wings, but will now cost Detroit $433,334 as a cap hit this season and $533,334 in 2024-25. Yamamoto scored 10 times and added 15 assists in 58 games in 2022-23.

JUNE 29, 2023 • EDMONTONJOURNAL.COM

Brought in for nothing Yamamoto and Klim Kostin were traded to the Red Wings from the Oilers on Thursday in exchange for future considerations.

Impact Yamamoto carries a $3.1 million cap hit that almost certainly led to Edmonton's decision to part ways with him despite not getting anything in return from Detroit. With his new club, the winger should be in contention for a spot in the middle-six. Selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft, Yamamoto has seemingly failed to live up to expectations considering he has reached the 30-point threshold just once in his four-year NHL career.

Impact Yamamoto has gotten on the scoresheet in the Oilers' last three wins, racking up a goal and three assists over five games in that span. That accounts for all of the winger's offense through 10 playoff contests, and he's added 19 hits, 11 shots on net, 14 PIM and a minus-3 rating. The 24-year-old will likely continue to be a middle-six option for the Oilers, especially if they opt for 12-forward lineups as they did Wednesday.
