One piece of business remains on the Edmonton Oilers and Ken Holland’s to-do list that hasn’t been done yet – re-sign Kailer Yamamoto.

I have to wonder what the hold-up between the Edmonton Oilers and Yamamoto. After all, Yamamoto is a player who had a down year last season producing 8-13-21 in 52 games.
