Edmonton selected right winger Kailer Yamamoto, a small but lethal, high-scoring winger with a lot of skill and upside for the future. With the team lacking depth on the right side entering the year, he could very well rise as a dark horse candidate for a roster spot.
Since being drafted, Yamamoto has made headlines and has shown his worth as a potential NHLer off the get-go. He shined at the World Junior Summer Showcase this offseason, and also signed an entry-level deal with Edmonton in July. And as he heads into training camp, many are eager to see what he makes of his ice time in the preseason.
