Unohana/Shunsui/Ukitake will probably replace the captain commander, although it is said the location of the Oken is given verbally from Captain Commander to Captain Commander, Yamamoto died without seemingly telling anyone, however, seeing as he gave last orders to Unohana thinking something might go wrong, it wouldnt suprise me if he told her its location. Other than her Urahara or a member of the Royal Guard would probably take his place. I mainly think Urahara because he was one of the few shinigami to fight against captain level opponents with nothing but his shikai, and the wikia states him as a master at virtually all shinigami proficiencies too. I see the next 40+ chapters as nothing but Planning/Training and figuring out the quincies medallion bankai stealing things. We will probably see Urahara escorted to SS by Grimmjow who wants to propose some silly arrancarr/shinigami alliance. Inoue heals Byakuya and Kenpachi i think Shunsui will keep the patch cos it looks cool. I pray to god Yamamoto stays dead, he is one of my favourite characters, but im hoping Kubo doesn tuse Inoue to heal his sword and he somehow comes back in some parrelell universe.
