Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I think that we will honestly not see a lot of major changes like a lot of fans want right now. This team is my attempt at a relatively realistic expectation of what Chuck and co. do next year. I think they're a little stubborn, and will mostly keep the forward group together. I can see them moving on from Elliott due to age and possibly wanting someone who can play a bit more without injury risk due to Hart's struggles. Dell will be not as sought after, but has been a solid back up/1B in the past. I think they go hard after Savard if he hits FA, and I gave it the 1 year contract with a bit of an overpayment as that seems to be a trend with the flat cap. I'm aware this could be unrealistic, but we don't really know what the FA market trends will be like and we saw a lot of 1 year deals for players that surprised us this year. Personally, I think that I like the Savard deal is a potentially good one. I would like to see a forward added similar to Pitlick last year, but idk how the cap would work other than letting Raffl go or basically a cap dump of say a Ghost. I think Ghost could be traded, but the trades I see here with him are usually ridiculous. We wouldn't be from a place of strength. I didn't do a ton of signings of the reserves in guys like York because the minor and college leagues are very much in flux at the moment. I signed Ginning and Ersson as they're European and have been raising eyebrows recently, they can come to LV or stay in the SHL.
