The thing with Yamamoto that you'd have to be nervous about if you're an Oiler fan (which you're not) is his on ice shooting percentage.
He and Draisaitl were on quite a heater this season.
They both have talent, and Draisaitl has proven he's a top player, but Yamamoto leading all forwards in the NHL with an on ice shooting percentage of 12.45% seems somewhat unsustainable.
Top ten ...
Yamamoto
Point
Rust
Panarin
Stamkos
Pettersson
Boeser
Kuznetsov
Krieder
Kadri
I'd offer the Oiler and both Canucks may have had outlier seasons (Pettersson being the future exception)
