Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Don’t worry about the added draft picks in some of these selections, I’m more so focused on how this team can be competitive year 1. I’m happy with the forward core given what’s available. With Suter and Parise being bought out I imagine Talbot is the pick from Minnesota, and now this team has three good goalies that can all play in a 1A 1B situation. One probably gets traded, if Seattle feels they can compete for a playoff spot in a wide open pacific I feel it’s vanecek. The d’s I’m not so sure about. I don’t know how comfortable I feel with dunn playing right side but I think he’d be fine with Graves. The second pair seems solid and I think Miller works on the bottom pair with a young up and coming Jake Bean, whom Francis drafted in 2016. Overall I like this team a lot. I think they could push for a top 3 spot in the pacific if Duchene bounces back from his awful tenure in Nashville (hey, Nashville is where centres go to die). I’m happy with this top 6, and if things don’t go their way, they could probably trade killorn voracek drouin Henrique and eberle with retention. Luckily there are two very stacked draft classes coming up to help them out if things don’t end up going as planned. All in all, I think this team could make some noise year one with the talent they have.
