from Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic,

Let’s start with some news. Are you expecting Kailer Yamamoto to return Sunday?

I spoke to the doctor and the trainer last night. I don’t think it’s a guarantee he’s ready for Sunday, but he’s practising. I’ll have to see. If he’s going to play Sunday, I’ll have to make some moves.

I’ll find out in the morning how he’s feeling. When he comes back, I want to know that he’s 100 percent and he’s ready to roll.

When he’s ready to play, you must clear cap space. Are you anticipating making a hockey trade or dumping salary?

We’re going to have to move two players — two forwards — probably on waivers. I’ll reach out (to other teams) and see if there’s some interest in what I’m looking to do. We’ll see.
