This Team Would Be Unstoppable. Simple.

Team: 2017-18 Washington Capitals
Initial Creation Date: May 12, 2017
Published: May 17, 2017
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
And here comes the chocker jokes. As long as Caps don't face a mediocre goalie playing out of their mind Caps can win the Cup.

That 3rd line is just nasty. All 3 of those players are possession hogs. Vrana is a future 30 goal scorer and will fit in nicely with Jumbo Joe.

That center depth is also amazing. You have maybe the 3 best passers in the league. No team comes close to this.

Caps dcore gets better with the subtraction of Orpik and Alzner. It's all puck moving. I doubt Campbell comes here but worth a try.

There's also $3M extra in the budget to fix anything you don't like but doubt you can find anything ;)

    LAV more than likely signs Alzner as their pick, but they'd probably still want Grubauer. Caps get a 6th round pick back

    And why would Vegas take on Orpik when they can just simply select Grubauer?

    Did you read above? Because they would want Alzner more which counts as their pick.

    Can't do anything about a mediocre goalie standing on his head to save the series. Best you can do is built another great team and go back at it.

    That logic on Vegas selecting UFA Alzner just so the Caps will give them Grubauer and Orpik makes no sense at all. Vegas will sign Alzner as UFA if they want (unlikely) draft Grubauer if they want, and will stay away from Orpik because Vegas would prefer to spend 5.5m elsewhere.

    Unstoppable? Didn't we hear that last mid April?
