Yamo inflating that trade value... 😏

Unfortunately playing with McD might suppress his true trade value, teams would be nervous.

It's going to be hard to trade Yamamoto and get adequate value. He's got a great contract right now, and can be qualified dirt cheap. He doesn't have a lot of leverage to get a massive deal, especially because of the McDavid premium. Teams are going to worry about the same things the Oilers and Oilers fans worry about - he's small and streaky.
If you're going to deal him, it has to be for something more valuable at a relatively similar cost. If you're getting a guy who costs double or who's UFA to be, and who gives similar production, then you just can't make that trade.
Fans too often focus on the wrong things with a player. Not everyone needs to be a star, especially in the cap era. They just need to outperform their contract, which Yamamoto does. If we are in a hurry to trade him just because of his size, we're likely to rue it.
