Kailer Yamamoto is among the notable departures from the Kraken, as the team looks to revamp its roster after a lackluster season. His exit adds to the challenge of improving the team's offensive output, which struggled significantly last year.

Kailer Yamamoto is also being considered for a professional tryout by the Boston Bruins alongside Blake Wheeler. His inclusion in discussions surrounding PTO offers indicates that he may be looking for a fresh opportunity after previous seasons that have not met expectations.

Kailer Yamamoto was squeezed out of Seattle due to a wave of incoming prospects and struggled last season, recording just 16 points in 59 games, his lowest total in a full campaign. Despite contributing six power-play points, his earlier promise seems diminished, reducing his market appeal. He is likely to attract interest primarily for a league-minimum contract to fill a fourth-line role on another team.

The buyout penalty for Kailer Yamamoto is part of the cap space calculations for the Detroit Red Wings next season.

Kailer Yamamoto struggled with the Seattle Kraken last season but has shown potential to be productive when surrounded by a strong supporting cast with the Edmonton Oilers.
