Good for Sweet Potato

So, does he have any upside?

 

[Jormungandr]

Disappointing

 

[Fatass]

Don’t know nothin’ about the player but that’s an awesome name. Yamamoto.

$500k is a very healthy AHL salary for a 2-way contract.

I remember him playing wing for Connor Mcjesus but unfortunately Leon Draisaitl was a better fit there but I always believed in the little guy because I myself am a little guy who plays hockey

He sucks and is too super soff to play in the bottom 6. If he learned to play with some jam and become Jamamoto he might stick in the NHL, but he won't.

Did he actually play well enough in camp to crack the roster? Or is this just an AHL/depth move? Seems like a very hefty AHL salary for that kind of move.

I was positive he'd be a 50 point scorer for the Oil by now... 2 way deal. Ouch.

2 players are already hurt, which opens up a roster spot. He'll start on the HC until Marino or Bjugstad come back.

He did play with jam, but then ran into concussion issues and stopped with the aggressive play.

Which given his other abilities makes him overall kind of useless without it
