A native of Spokane, Washington, Yamamoto is a stand-out talent and an impressive right wing. He plays the game with tremendous confidence and is well on his way to a solid pro career.
With the Oilers lacking right wing depth heading into this season, and Yamamoto coming off an impressive year in juniors and a solid development camp, could he push for an immediate spot on the NHL roster?
First off, Yamamoto has just two years of WHL experience but is scoring at a rate of over a point per game. This past season, he finished with 42 goals and 99 points in 65 games.
