Description

Calling up a bunch of kids and signing some cheap free agents to fill in the gaps. Not what we want, but most realistic with what Sweeney said in his press conference. Able to keep the goalie hug and still have $5 million in cap space.

Could technically still sign Bertuzzi for about 6 million if Beecher stays in Providence.

Might not make the playoffs, but should be competitive.

Love it, pretty realistic. Although OEL is likely getting a bit more, and I'm pretty sure the bonus overage is not factored into the total cap hit, so it's really only $500k available, although I could be incorrect

This is very realistic and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the exact opening night roster

Idk how I feel about it though, definitely a much weaker team which is underwhelming, but that 4th line would be lethal and exciting to watch

If you were going for accuracy then very well done
