Description

Caps are one of the oldest teams in the league on average, an injection of youth may be a very good thing honestly. Defense seems to be very bad anyways, so why not go young next year and save cap anyways. I'd argue all of them are NHL ready honestly, even Nardella who's killing it in the Swedish league at the moment and Alexeyev preforming well in the KHL right now. Siegenthaler can handle minutes and Fehervary certainly can play In the top 4.
