Salary Cap Mode: Basic

We are at a tough point. Our performance has been great under Boudreau and we would easily be in the playoffs if not for our awful start with the old regime. There are two issues.

1. This might be a fluke

We have been good but our defense has been greatly inflated by Demko being a god. Furthermore, we have had a tendency to lose to some real bad teams. I think this roster probably makes the playoffs but it isn't a cup contender. We still need a better defense and a couple more forwards, and that might be hard to achieve being a okay playoff team without loads of cap

2. Miller and Boeser

Both of these players are important for us especially Miller. That being said both need extensions. Boeser doesn't really fit what the FO and Boudreau likes (speed). Miller is great but paying him top dollar well into his 30s is a bit sketchy especially already being chained to OEL's contract. We can get great packages for them but it will makes us worse (Miller especially, without him we get a lot worse.

In the end I think we need to take a step back in order to become actual contenders. I feel a lot better about trading Miller now that Petey has bounced back and looks once again set to be a Superstar.

This ACGM I am going to keep Miller and then I will do one with the same moves except trading Miller

Btw someone should add a "filler team" or smthn as someone to trade with for an ACGM. When you do a minor trade for a pick it would be cool
