Team: 2019-20 Washington Capitals

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
TRADES:
-With Jensen in the mix, Nisky is now expendable. He's still a good top 4 dman but we need the space and picks. DAL seems like a perfect fit because after Klingberg they have Lovejoy and Polak (both bottom pairing and UFAs this summer). He'd be perfect fit for Hesikenen. NJD would also be another good option.
-I don't want to move Bura but he deserves to be in top 6 somewhere because he has the skill, we're just overloaded here. He seems to light up DAL every time we play them so they may want him just for that. Nisky and Bura don't have to go to DAL, can be anywhere.
-ANA GM said they need youth and speed, Stepehenson brings both. Caps have youth that needs playing time.
-Unfortunately, Priskie is going to be a UFA in August, so move him now for something. He's from Florida so try there.

UFA:
-Ilya Mikheyev is a good 2 two guy who has had a great KHL year. He seems like a faster version of Shumakov. So Caps take a chance again on a KHL player.
-Zucc probably has a couple more 50+ point years. He'd be a great fit here, like Wiliams was a couple years ago. His speed and two way play could help a lot.
-Hagelin has been great for us. Pay him $2.5M to be a player that can play all over the lineup and be a shutdown PK guy.
-If Mikheyev and Hagelin don't work out they can get Con back.

LINES:
-Each line has 2 fast skaters on it so they don't get out skated. This spreads out Caps 3 "slower" skaters in Ovechkin, Backstrom, and Oshie. It also allows Caps to build 3 dangerous lines.
-1st line wasn't good this year but that was mainly due to Kuzey having an off season. He hasn't been the same since his concussion. So try it again.
-2nd line would be amazing. You have speed on both wings. Zucc and Backy's playmaking ability will result in a lot of goals, especially for Vrana who was already going to hit 30G anyways this upcoming season.
-3rd line has a lot of talent for a 3rd line. Has speed, physicality, and each player is a great at both ends of ice and could shut down most top 6 lines.
-4th line is a 4th line but with some speed form Hagelin and scoring ability from Barber.
-The defense each has a speed factor on it: Kempny, Jensen, Siegenthaler.
-1st pair has always been great. Just hope Kempny's injury doesn't affect him long term.
-2nd pair will be the new shut down Orlov-Niskanen pair from a couple years back.
-3rd pair has skill and shutdown ability that should be able to prey on lesser lines.

Overall this is a deep physical, speedy, skilled team that you can mix and match players and come up with something great and different every night.
