I would agree on Yamamoto. Not clear how much of an upgrade Brown is on Kailer. I had a lot of time for him. He was a gamer. Brown seems like essentially the same player with 30 more pounds which might work out better come playoff time. Apparently Ottawa's best PKer according to the fans and the Oilers need to be better there.
Kostin brought effort every game in the playoffs, but he disappeared for large stretches of the regular season. Woodcroft also didn't trust him defensively and heavily sheltered him in the postseason.
