Yamamoto signs one year deal at $1.175m AAV, which is same AAV as Puljujarvi. #Oilers. Both will be RFAs at end of season.
Don't think he got any offer sheets. Being small will always work against him for teams not already loyal, and, well, he had 2 bad playoffs and a bad season since his breakout 2 months with Nuge/Drai to start his career.
Can expect him to be pretty motivated this season.

I always think about things like offer sheets and trades as if I was a fan of another team or the player is not an Oiler. If Yamo was on another team and the Oilers announced that they offered sheeted Yamo for a contract that paid him 3 mill over X amount of years, would I have been happy and thought it was a good idea? Absolutely not. I like him, I have high hopes for him but he is very undersized, only has a 26 game run 2 seasons ago where he looked like he maybe could be a top 6 guy and he's coming off a lousy year and playoffs where he was playing almost exclusively with Leon, who last season was the current MVP and scoring champ and all he could muster was a just over 30 pts pace season and scored 1 goal in 25 games. I wouldn't pay much for a guy like that if he was a UFA.
In my opinion, he got what he should get which is what JP was making.
