Holland shouldn’t do this deal, atleast give Yam a chance to turn things around, DeBrusk just seems like a downgrade and this deal from Holland would be a misguided lateral move.

I heard a Yamamoto stat recently:
7 games straight with 0 shots on goal.
Dec. 3 - Dec. 16 2021
Yikes!

Wouldn't both teams be selling assets at a low point?

Idk if i see it happening but I like this trade from Edmontons point of view. Debrusk could be a steal in a new scenery like Bennett was last year for the Panthers.
I'm sure some will disagree, I know very little about Yamamoto tbh.

I'm down for this. Let's talk Koskinen plus a pick for Ullmark if Rask indeed signs.
Debrusk 50% + Ullmark for edm 1st + Yamamoto + cap Koskinen

He's not better, he's cheaper, much cheaper. If Edmonton can get retention on DeBrusk since he's a pending RFA and grab Ullmark as they have Swayman and Rask apparently signing this could would for Edmonton and Boston can shop our 1st for further help.

He's qualifying offer is way too high, he likely knows he's not getting that, from any club. Signing in Edmonton after the season, his hometown to play with one of McDavid or Draisaitl though could very well save his NHL career - or at the least his ability to once again sign a higher cap dollar deal. Hard to find a better choice of C to rebuild his value with. a 1-2 year deal at 2 million per seems a good role of the dice for both team and player.

Rebooting myself
Ullmark is on more money and more years than Kosk and he ain't that big of an improvement. There is a reason why Rask is coming back, Swayman just needs a little more support before he starts playing most of the games. The pick is on the wrong end and how do we afford Ullmark,

Why is Ullmark even mentioned here?
He's not mentioned in this rumour, and this is not going to all of a sudden be a cover every deficiency trade for Holland.

For what it's worth Gazzola talked about this today. He said everytime he brings Debrusk's name up to higher up brass in Edmonton they tell him keep in mind anything we do is money in money out. They essentially shut it down everytime he said.

There is no scenario across the multiverse where Kailer Yamamoto is used as a piece to acquire anything of value. He's the 2021 version of Ryder in the Ryder/Halak/ and a 2nd offer of years ago. You can't trade the crumbs at the bottom of a Dorito bag for anything but orange fingers.

The question is would I sign Debrusk to $3.675M if he was available and for me the answer is no. Now would I sign Yamamoto to $1.175M and for me the answer is yes.
Yamo even with his underwhelming offense still helps on the PK is quite capable of being an energy line player being that he is a constant pest on the forecheck, creates turnovers, and draws a good amount of penalties.
In the cap world better value is often more important than better player and their career points per game separation in the NHL between the two isn't significant enough to justify a cap-hit that is more than 3 times as expensive. When you factor in that Yamo is 2 years younger and has a much more reasonable qualifying offer to retain his rights it seems like a no brainer that he is the more valuable player between the 2.
I like Yams and would be happy to keep him but how long do you give him to turn it around? He's been devoid offensively since his initial break with the club where he had that hot 27 game stretch. That was a long time ago.
I really like the player and would love him as a third line energy guy to hound the puck, but he spends so much time with Drai that I'm not seeing the offensive upside other Oiler fans keep talking about.

Why doesnt Tippet ever tried Yamamoto as a mai stay on 3rd line??
Yamamoto is always in the top of drawn penalties, is a good PKer, can finnish, but hasnt found any groove on his line yet.
If I could trade Tippet, I would do that as the prime trade chip.
