Hes the reason Im wary of Broberg. Yammo had a great 17 game stretch and parlayed it into a 2 year 2mil contract and failed to live up to it.Guy was trending to be an everyday NHLer until injuries start to hit the guy and he lost that edge he was playing with.
Doesn't really help that he doesn't play PK either.
He honestly is probably best going down to the AHL and try develop some skills he doesn't have, because his toolbox just isn't right for the NHL
He wasn't the same after injuries. Before them he was aggressive and not afraid of going into corners, then he kinda became a perimeter player.Hes the reason Im wary of Broberg. Yammo had a great 17 game stretch and parlayed it into a 2 year 2mil contract and failed to live up to it.
Small sample sizes are not enough to base big contracts off of. I mean this dude played Leon Draisaitl and RNH and didn't produce outside of a 17 game stretch. Nows hes a PTO bargain bin player.
Small but tenacious guys are easy to root for especially when they are not dirty agitators.Not sure why, but this is a guy I always root for. Hope he sticks

I think that might be possibility if can't crack lineup or reserves.Welcome to Switzerland.
No room for Yamo as is for opening night. All of the guys posted below are better than him.Predicting it will be a great signing despite what the haters say. If anyone can help him get back to where he was it's GMBA and Tourigny. They're fantastic at getting the most out of these guys, look at Bjugstad, Kerfoot, Carcone, Zucker, O'Brien etc. Maybe Yamamoto amounts to nothing in which case there was no risk in acquiring him and if he does look good he'll be a great asset to Utah. Reminds me a lot of Garland when he's on. Don't think anyone expects him to be a PPG player but if he produces at all like he did in Edmonton it'll be a great signing after coming of a bad year with the Kraken.
But he's still pretty young, turning 26, and while the wings have the greatest depth in Utah it still probably means that Kerfoot can be a center instead of on the wing and pushes Keleman down to the AHL which is good. Great low risk medium reward PTO. Wouldn't be surprised if he meshes really well with Keller/Schmaltz or Cooley/Guenther/Doan or Maccelli/Crouse. A guy who plays really well on the cycle and is a puck hound with some skill is exactly what a lot of Utah's skilled players need. Bonus points if he can be taught defense. Would be ideal if he can be turned into a center but that seems pretty unlikely.
Can't see him supplanting CarconeNo room for Yamo as is for opening night. All of the guys posted below are better than him.
Keller - Hayton - Schmaltz
Maccelli - Cooley - Guenther
Crouse - Bjugstad - Doan
Kerfoot - Mcbain - Stenlund
Ya carcone is the 13th forward currently, and may even be on the opening night lineup over Doan. Who knows for sure. I do know will have injuries again though, so there'll be openings for other guys. I just don't know if Yamo is that guy.Can't see him supplanting Carcone
