When the Edmonton Oilers roll into Climate Pledge Arena for their pre-season game against the Seattle Kraken tonight, superstars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are expected to be in the lineup.

For the past six seasons, winger Kailer Yamamoto would have been in the lineup right beside them. But Yamamoto signed a one year free agent contract with Seattle over the summer, so he'll instead be opposing his former Oilers teammates for the first time.

In today's Kraken Reaction video report, I spoke with Kailer in an exclusive interview. We began with a comment from Yamamato's former Edmonton and current Kraken teammate, defenseman Adam Larsson.
