Is Klefbom never coming back?

sadly no

I'd rather not give up Yamo for that

And also why is McLeod scratched? he should be on the 3rd line. don't sign Domi and give that spot to Holloway and move Mcleod into the fold

Yamamoto is more important to us than Puljujarvi. We can’t trade him just to move Kassian’s contract.

If Keith retires, Edmonton gets a recapture benefit of $3.4m.

I would buy out Kassian's contract before moving him with an asset to clear him off the books. Next season, his bought out cap hit is $666k. Buying him out and replacing him with Shore saves $1.7m in cap next season, and keeps whatever assets you'd have to give up to move his contract.
