Went to find it and found this Staples gem from last week
“There's a market for Yamamoto, say NHL insiders. But what can Oilers get back?”

I can see Yamamoto doing well on a team in need of a useful two-way winger, one with some skill who can make plays with a young star forward, such as Connor Bedard in Chicago or Trevor Zegras in Anaheim.

Hahahaha. How does anyone’s brain put that out. He sucked with McDavid but he’ll be great with Bedard or Zegras, but then why would those teams acquire a player that couldn’t stick on the Oilers and put them with their star.
