Edmonton Oilers: Kailer Yamamoto Putting on Weight

While players like Ethan Bear and Ziyat Paigin are also in attendance, the most notable name to watch is Kailer Yamamoto. Ever since Edmonton took the Spokane, Washington native 22nd overall in this year’s draft, all eyes have been on him.

A fast, speedy winger, Yamamoto relies on his skating ability, quick hands and vision to create scoring chances. He is able to move quickly and make rapid decisions on the fly, all while being a player that carries his own line. In fact, his skill set alone makes him one of the Oilers’ top right wing prospects, and even a potential dark horse for a roster spot.
