The Edmonton Oilers forward, Kailer Yamamoto, may find himself in a situation similar to Jesse Puljujarvi during this off-season. The Oilers are facing challenges with their salary cap, and Yamamoto's three injuries last season, coupled with his lack of playoff production, have made him a potential trade piece for the team. However, just like Puljujarvi, who had a $3 million cap hit, the Oilers will likely need to include a sweetener to entice another team to take him off their hands.
According to Frank Seravalli, a late-round pick could be a possible asset to attach if the Oilers want to move on from Yamamoto. This scenario is reminiscent of the trade involving Cody Ceci, where a similar compensation could be expected.
