I bet that the Oilers will be forced to trade Yamamoto (or they'll lose him via an offer sheet). I can't imagine many other teams wanting to take either Foegele or Puljujarvi off their hands (and if so, they'll come at the price of a draft pick via a cap dump).
That, or they're going to be forced to place someone like Puljujarvi on waivers where they risk losing him for nothing.
Oilers really showing the rest of the NHL how to not manage the salary cap.
