Player Discussion Kailer Yamamoto

[PaPaDee]

I feel bad for Yamamoto, but he’s not part of the solution here. His $3M+ cap can be better utilized elsewhere.

Concussion protocol.

LTIR until the playoffs for his health.

Guess his trade value raises every time he hits the concussion protocol. Maybe Ken should start working towards extension?

You’re a f***ing ghoul already. Your continual wishing for Yamo to be concussed is disgusting.

Piss off to the Canes forum where you can cheer for your uncoordinated snot licking son PJ.

Scary when they happen in quick succession to each other.

I thought Yams played a really good game yesterday.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

He seemed more like he was pissed he had to do the protocol when he was on the bench. Didn't seem all that bad but I guess we'll find out today.

Yeah 100%, this is how I took it as well. I wouldn't doubt they give him a few days to make sure things are good, but I would actually be surprised if he is hurt.

scored a goal yesterday too

Concussion protocol.

All those concussions and still has more goals than JP.

Buyout in the off-season is the best path forward. Buys the team a little under $2.7M cap next year with about half a million in cap in 2024-25.

All that whining in the Canes forum about how HF Oil is toxic.
Comes to HF Oil to troll.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

Yamamoto with his injury issues and 2-year deal has negative trade value, while Pulju's value with his current contract was basically zero. This season we won't be getting rid of Yamamoto's deal without adding a pick.

You keep saying we when you’re not even an Oilers fan but a JP fanboy. Go cheer for the Finnish National team…err the Carolina Hurricanes

Won't need to buy him out. He's young with an expiring contract and low cap hit. Another team will easily give an asset for him. He's a good player that can play on any line.

$3.1M for 6 goals 8 assists and 24 points 2/3rds of the way through the season. That's a generous 10-12-22 point pace. With legitimate questions about durability due to multiple concussions this season I don't think a trade would be easy in any sense.

Agreed a trade is better than a buyout. Trade him for the same return Puljujarvi got if needed. But the trade needs to be done before July 1st. If not, that's when a buyout should be considered.

To troll? I just said Yamamoto was put in to the concussion protocol. Hope he's not concussed this time, looked like he was okay.

Everyone knows how you post and why you make your posts. Your shtick is garbage just like the player you fangirl over

 

[dssource]

Is it confirmed that he is in concussion protocol? Did he play another shift after the hit last night?

Get better Yams. One way or another, we need you.

Just take a breath, mkay? I don't see why I shouldn't be able to continue being an Oil fan, and also follow Jesse's career with the Canes.

Wishing Yamo ill will = Oilers fan? I guess youre just a different breed

I think it was near the end so probably by the time the protocol was over it was pointless.

Predicting (correctly) that an injury prone small forward who'll have to go to tight places to be useful will probably soon get injured again, is not the same as wanting that player to get injured.

But do you ever post on any other threads than ones for JP or discussing Yamo? I don't recall you being active on anything else, so now that JP is gone, I suppose you'll only be on the Yamo ones now until he gets moved. Then what?

 

[MoontoScott]

Head injuries are so scary and life altering, lost my best friend to one many years ago.

Hope Yams is alright.

I notice that Arizona is near the cap floor so perhaps that might be a summer destination for him-- a nice place to start over. No scraping the windshield either.

Why would we buy him out if we needed the cap space? We would just trade him.
