Kailer Yamamoto, RW, Spokane Chiefs (WHL)

While he might be more of an extreme case, the 5-foot-8, 146-pound Yamamoto is similar in size and makeup to Jaden Schwartz and Robby Fabbri, who have found NHL success with the Blues. Yamamoto obviously has a knack for putting up offensive production, having scored 42 goals with 57 assists through 65 games this season, and if the Blues are willing to accept his lack of size, he seems like the type of player that could thrive in Mike Yeo’s speed-and-skill-based style of play.
