Description

It's easy if you're going to spend $150 million or $200 million, but what if you actually had to stay under the cap?

Guys who deserve consideration:

Huberdeau (probably should have him instead of Guentzel)
Kubalik
Mangiapane
Theodore
Toews the Younger
plus all the expensive defensemen I left off due to cap hit

Who do you think I left out -- but you have to tell me who he'd replace.

I left the number one player in the world off simply because he's so damn expensive. But my next effort is going to start with him and Leon, plus John Gibson and Jack Eichel just to annoy my two frequent antagonists, CD282 and Shibbal18.
