The Edmonton Oilers May Have Found a Loophole and Bring Kailer Yamamoto Back
In a surprising move, the Edmonton Oilers have traded away forward Kailer Yamamoto. However, they may have found a clever loophole to bring him back at a more affordable price.
With Yamamoto earning a significant salary, the Oilers orchestrated a trade to the Detroit Red Wings. Subsequently, Detroit bought out his contract, making him a free agent. This strategic move allows the Oilers to re-sign Yamamoto for a much cheaper deal.
The precedent set by the Brooks Orpik situation in 2018 suggests that the Oilers can indeed sign Yamamoto tomorrow. #LetsGoOilers.
Question: Can #LetsGoOilers sign Yamamoto tomorrow?

2. Bought out by COL on June 24, 2018
3. Signed with WSH on July 24, 2018
