Kailer Yamamoto - Secures PTO Yamamoto agreed to terms on a professional tryout agreement with Utah HC on Wednesday. Impact Yamamoto saw action in 59 games for the Kraken last year in which he notched eight goals and eight assists, including six power-play points. Considering his steady decline in production since 2021-22 when he tallied 41 points in 81 games, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the 25-year-old winger have to go the PTO route in order to find a landing spot for the upcoming season. If he makes the team, Yamamoto figures to take on a bottom-six role but could move up the lineup when injuries inevitably pop up.
