Kraken's Kailer Yamamoto: Heads to Seattle
Yamamoto signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with Seattle on Sunday.
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 in June following a trade with Edmonton. Yamamoto may occupy a fourth-line spot with the Kraken going into 2023-24.

Kailer Yamamoto: Placed on unconditional waivers
Yamamoto was placed on unconditional waivers by the Red Wings on Friday for the purpose of buying out his contract, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.
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 in 2023-24 had he remained with the Red Wings, but he'll now cost Detroit $433,334 against the cap during the upcoming campaign and $533,334 in 2024-25. Yamamoto scored 10 times and added 15 assists in 58 games with the Oilers in 2022-23.

Red Wings' Kailer Yamamoto: Traded for future considerations
Yamamoto and Klim Kostin were traded to the Red Wings from the Oilers on Thursday in exchange for future considerations.
Yamamoto carries a $3.1 million cap hit that almost certainly led to Edmonton's decision to part ways with him despite not getting much 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.

Oilers' Kailer Yamamoto: Adds assist in win
Yamamoto notched an assist, two hits and 10 PIM in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Golden Knights in Game 4.
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.

Yamamoto notched an assist and two PIM in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Golden Knights.

The Oilers have opted for 11-forward lineups recently, with Yamamoto cycling in as the team rotates centers, though he's been deployed mostly in a bottom-six assignment. The 24-year-old has three points, nine shots on net, 15 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating through eight appearances.

Yamamoto snapped a five-game point drought with his helper. The 24-year-old has had an uneven season, posting 10 goals and 15 assists over 58 contests, with injuries costing him significant chunks of the campaign.

Oilers' Kailer Yamamoto: Three points including GWG
Yamamoto scored two goals and added an assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Jets.
Both goals came 40 seconds apart in the second period, giving the Oilers a 4-0 lead and helping to chase Connor Hellebuyck from the game. Yamamoto is back on a line with Leon Draisaitl and has four goals and five points over the last five games, but his track record suggests his hold on a top-six role will be tenuous. Yamamoto could prove to be a short-term fantasy asset, but don't get too attached.

The 24-year-old winger has six goals, 14 points, 58 shots on net, 58 hits and a plus-4 rating through 38 appearances.
