3 Landing Spots for Kailer Yamamoto
There have been reports that the Edmonton Oilers may consider trading young forward Kailer Yamamoto during the upcoming post-season due to his lack of production. Currently, Yamamoto has a $3.1 million cap hit and it is possible that the Oilers may decide to buy him out.
There are three potential landing spots for Yamamoto where his fresh offensive talent could be a valuable asset to teams in need.
The Washington Capitals, who recently re-tooled by trading Anthony Mantha, are looking to get younger and may see Yamamoto as a solution to their needs in the top nine under MacLellan's leadership.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are in desperate need of offensive talent and Yamamoto's potential could make him a valuable asset for their rebuilding efforts. A new start in Columbus could be just what he needs to thrive.
Finally, the New York Islanders, despite making it to the post-season, have struggled with their offensive front. While they may not be willing to spend big, they could offer assets or NHL-ready prospects in exchange for Yamamoto's services, especially after acquiring Bo Horvat.
