The Edmonton Oilers locked down rookie Kailer Yamamoto to a three-year, entry-level contract, the club announced Thursday.
Yamamoto, 18, was selected with the 22nd overall selection in this year's draft.
The diminutive winger (5-foot-8, 153 pounds) registered impressive offensive numbers for the WHL's Spokane Chiefs last season, tallying 42 goals and 57 assists in only 65 games.
This summer, Yamamoto played for Team USA at the 2017 World Junior Summer Showcase in Plymouth, Mich.
