Playing with Seattle he might actually get a chance to show what he can do. And for $1.5M its pretty low-risk on Seattle's part if he does just genuinely suck.
Yamamoto played with McDavid/Draisatl more often than away from them.
The knock on Kailer from the fans was that he didn't produce enough despite having the best linemates.
Coaches liked him though and he plays with a lot of jam despite having a size disadvantage in every battle.

If the kid can avoid more injuries he should have a long career in the NHL.
