In the event that a buyer for Kailer Yamamato cannot be found, the Oilers may need to contemplate moving Warren Foegele, who was not initially on the transfer list.
The flat salary cap has presented significant challenges for many teams, forcing them to be more selective in their choices. Foegele recently signed a 3-year contract with the Oilers at an AAV of $2.75 million.
If Yamamato is traded, it would free up $3.1 million on the cap, which is why Holland is likely feeling anxious as he searches for a team willing to take on the soon-to-be RFA.
