Team: 2021-22 Washington Capitals

Initial Creation Date: Jun. 7, 2021

Published: Jun. 7, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Protection list:

Forwards: Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Sprong, Eller, Wilson, Oshie, Mantha
Defensemen: Orlov, Carlson, Jensen (Jensen was better this season and would rule in a pairing with Orlov)
Goalie: Samsonov

Seems like GMBM wanted to keep a tandem of Samsonov and Vanecek next season, so a trade is going to be likely. Caps could off-load some cap in a trade while giving up something of value.

Moving 3 picks and a young prospect to sign a 3rd line defender and a decent forward is a great way to mess up your future while also not getting better.

Gonna suck after the window closes in the next couple years, so might as well embrace the suck in the future and try to win another cup before the Ovi era ends.
