Scouting Notes

Summary By Zachary DeVine · Game: Aug 2, 2016 · NJEC 2016 - NJEC · Live #0
Only 5’8 the younger of the Yamamoto brothers went from a tentative partner of Casey Mittlestadt to a full contributor on a line with Clayton Keller and Kieffer Bellows. After two full years in the WHL you have to believe that the “Dub” was the best place to see if a smaller player like Kailer can survive. His point totals have been there, his leadership is noted and he has that elusive slipperiness you want in smaller players to go with a good amount of dynamic unpredictability. Spokane is retooling this year, so it will be interesting to see how Kailer’s season progresses.

Yamamoto playing a physical brand of hockey today. Hitting in the corners, playing in front of and driving the net.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Jul 31, 2016 · NJEC 2016 - USA Team White vs Team Finland · Live #0
Kailer Yamamoto drives the middle of the ice and Keller finds him. Great play by both, impressed with Yamamoto’s much better game.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Aug 1, 2016 · NJEC 2016 - Canada Practice · Live #0

Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Aug 1, 2016 · NJEC 2016 - USA Practice · Live #0
Yamamoto is everything you want to see in a smaller player. Dynamic, fast, quick, and elusive. Slippery with the puck and without.

Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Nov 5, 2016 · Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) · Stream #0
Yamamoto slides in behind the goalie to the back post and a shot-pass is perfectly directed in. Credit the defender as well, but Yamamoto read what was given to him brilliantly.
Note By Zachary DeVine · Game: Nov 5, 2016 · Tri-City vs Spokane (WHL) · Stream #0
Yamamoto again slips behind the defense and another great pass, this time from Anderson-Dolan, is quickly deposited in the back of the net. Yamamoto finding the open areas 4 on 4 (both goals scored in 34 seconds)

Nobody can put a body on him when he has the puck, so he makes time and space for himself
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Feb 25, 2017 · Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) · Video (with replay) #0
Superb first-step quickness and effortless skating.
Note By Brian Fogarty · Game: Feb 25, 2017 · Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) · Video (with replay) #0
Ducks under a check from Valimaki along the boards and finds an activating defender with a cross-crease pass.
Summary By Brian Fogarty · Game: Feb 25, 2017 · Tri-City vs. Spokane (WHL) · Video (with replay) #0
Has all the tools but the size. If he has the puck and a step or two, he can make bad things happen for the other team, but as he moves along in his career, and the opponents get bigger, faster, smarter and more experienced, he could find a wall too high to climb before he hits the NHL.
