This is really good team, probably a cup winner.
But next try this with no ELC.

youd have to ditch Hedman, Draisatl, Hellebuyk and probably one of the top line wings, its not really nearly as good a team. The average good winger makes 4+ per, i have essentially 5 RFA excluding suiting 7 D and an extra F.

thats nearly 25M assuming you could find great players in the 4-5M range, i was going to use Sergachev instead of Hughes, but again, then you gotta ditch someone else.

Ik it’s more difficult, but it’s the next challenge from here.
