BLOG: Yamamoto putting on weight

Oilers prospect Kailer Yamamoto can't be interviewed without being questioned about his size.
The forward, after attending Day 1 of Oilers Rookie Camp and having gone through fitness tests, is listed at 5-foot-8 and 153-pounds. At the NHL Scouting Combine in June, Yamamoto was around 146-pounds, making it clear that his off-season goal of putting on some weight was achieved.
"I'm about 155 (pounds)," Yamamoto said in the Oilers Hall of Fame Room on Thursday. "It's been a tough one to gain weight but it's coming slowly but surely."
