"Did you want me to get him for free" - Ken Holland 2 years before giving away Yamamoto for free.
|
This feels like a win. It did not cost us to get rid of a decent size contract attached to a small, injury prone, underperforming winger.
Am I reading this wrong? Did people expect to gain assets and no salary retention?
|
Does it accomplish the main goal of clearing salary? Yes.
But there is a scale to these things. The worst way to accomplish this would be a buyout or trade with retention. The middling way to accomplish this is a trade for future considerations. The best way is to get some sort of asset back, which we are seeing happen in the last week with other deals.
So its another middling move by a lazy 5 million dollar GM who doesn’t go any lengths to find the best solution, but rather the easiest one. If you want to be the best team, your front office has to be the among the best too.
|
Yeah, that's a good explanation. It's isn't a bad deal, it's a lazy deal at a bad time. I'd probably feel better about sending Yams out for nothing if I believed Holland was capable of using Cap Space to its full potential. I don't. Feeling lucky that the Oilers didn't wait until he had negative value isn't giving me great hope for the rest of summer.
|
A 6th round pick does not turn my head any different than future considerations. Yamamoto almost has a negative value with his injuries and lack of production this last season, considering his salary and his quality of linemates.
I am with RD on this one. I would not want to be acquiring Yamamoto with that contract and injury history. If we were the team acquiring this 'free' asset I would be pissed. The cap has significant value and Yamamoto was not earning his salary. I was hoping he would mature into that role and be a bargain scoring 50 plus points in the top 6, but alas that was not the case.
Good luck Yams and Klim. One little guy, and one guy with a third leg will be missed and remembered.
|
100% If I saw the Oilers trading for Yamo given his salary, his injury problems, lack of production and size, and it cost them anything at all, I'd be pissed.
