Description
I think this is a really dangerous team. Contracts might be off a touch, but tried my best.

Forwards:
Miller is a great addition to center depth. Maybe throw in a 3rd pick to sweeten the deal, but nothing more imo. I really hope the Caps don't go for Kadri (too expensive for only one amazing year).
Forsberg would be great, but I just see it as so unlikely that I am avoiding it.
I am weary of signing Nichushkin honestly because I know everyone right now is high on him. For less than $6mil, I think he is a good addition. Anything more, I would rather go for Ilya or Nino for cheaper.
Namestnikov adds that 15+ goal scoring depth that I do not think Snively, Leasson, Protas, or AJF can produce.

Goalies:
Husso is a little bit of a risk, but I think Kuemper will be priced out and I don't love anyone else all that much.
Maybe Varly / Gibson in a trade, but I went with Husso.

Defense:
I think the Caps have to sign a LHD. Alexeyev just had surgery, Johansen is not proven - need a "vet" present to shore up the defense.

When Wilson comes back, here are my forward lines:
Ovi - Kuzy - Nichushkin
Mantha - Miller - Wilson
Namestnikov - McMichael - Oshie
Sheary - Dowd - Hathaway

That is a pretty weak offering for JT Miller. Swap out Eller for McMichael or Iorio, then it might happen.

VAN doesnt (can't) take that. Too little value for MIller

Then I hope the Caps say no and sign someone (Copp, Kadri depending on price, or Trocheck) during free agency. Because Lap, 20th overall pick in a deep deep draft, and either McMichael (will be a future 2c center) or Iorio (potential top 4 RHD) is too high in my view.

I heard Rangers are in on Miller too. Honestly, coming from a Caps fan, I think Rangers will be able to out bid the Caps, by a lot.

I don't disagree with you. That's a big package to give up for a player with only one year left on his contract. However with Backstrom hurt, and OV8 aging, they need to push all their chips in over the next year or two. Good short term, bad long term (unless they can re-sign JT)
