- Yamamoto re-signed with the Utah Mammoth on a one-year, two-way contract worth around $775,000, keeping him in the organization for the 2025-26 season [CBS Sports: April 29, 2026]. This deal means he’ll compete for a roster spot and could split time between the NHL-affiliates and the AHL if he doesn’t make the NHL team out of camp [CBS Sports: April 29, 2026].[2]
- His recent performance includes 23 points in 59 regular-season games for Utah in the 2025-26 period, with a noted uptick in his role and production relative to previous years, suggesting he remains on the organizations’ radar as a depth scorer [RotoWire: May 1, 2026].[4]
- In postseason play, Yamamoto contributed offensively with a goal and several assists, and his ongoing contract discussions indicate he’s a potential depth forward option for the Mammoth beyond the current season [RotoWire: May 1, 2026].[4]
Context and outlook:
- He’s now in free-agent territory but appears to be staying with Utah on a depth deal, which could be renewed if he continues to show value in a middle-six role [RotoWire: May 1, 2026].[4]
- Expect competition for a full-time NHL slot; his path likely relies on strong camp performances and potential roster needs due to injuries or lineup changes in the Mammoth’s organization [CBS Sports: April 29, 2026].[2]
