Description

As a fun exercise - and a challenge for everyone else if you want to - choose one of the big Olympic competitors (this works best with countries with lots of players available, namely Canada and the US), and create a cap-compliant team. Here are the rules:

1. Construct a roster of players that either hail from or play for a certain nation
2. The team must be cap-compliant
3. Only 2 ELCs allowed
4. Because it's an Olympic team, you must create a 23-man roster (13F-7D-3G) and remain under cap
5. If you'd like, include 3 coaches in the LTIR

Note on my team: I had the Habs players on different lines, but thought it'd be fun to put them together (Olympic-style a la Marleau-Thornton-Heatley). I also ALMOST used the extra 800k I have to replace Talbot with Kuemper but I'm going with recency bias here.

Good luck! Here's my attempt
