Description

It's a complete 23-man roster and it's under the cap. And they're all NHLers - well, okay, Marchenko hasn't played in tne NHL yet, but we're pretty sure he will. I bet it can totally work!

(Yes, this is just a silly exercise in illustrating the scale of the problem to those folks who keep trying to send us forwards.)
("IR" is for goaltenders, because CapFriendly won't let me take the joke all the way.)

TFW is ecstatic that you gave him more than Laine. (I know you forgot to remove a 0, but this is objectively funny.)

Yeah 1/3 of those guys are borderline AHLers, so I wouldn’t say they have too many forwards. Like maybe Oliver, Bemstrom or Foudy get claimed off waivers at some point, maybe.

Having too many good players is a fine problem to have.

I wish you would have picked forwards to play defense and goal. Postulating which forwards could play those positions sounds like a fun exercise to me.

Oops. I'll file that under "subconsciously worrying about the cap floor".

I considered it but decided that would be too subtle.

Rushed because I'm also trying to do Actual Work in between time here and HF. And yes, I was in fact thinking of his childhood position when I put Laine where he is.
