Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Looking at the opening night roster for my 4 favorite teams (1 from each division).

More moving parts here, but I think it's fairly straight forward. I realize some may be upset about Pelletier not being on the opening night roster, but I'm making this assuming Milano impresses on his PTO and gets a roster spot, where I believe his best chance is playing on the 2nd line. However, feel free to swap him with Coleman if needed. At the end of the day, CGY clearly wants to compete right now, and having veterans on the roster is the best chance. Pelletier is the first call up if any injuries in the top 9 occur.

Valimaki gets traded somewhere he has a chance of playing. The team and the return are fairly inconsequential here.

I definitely would not be looking forward to Cody Eakin playing, but he is signed to a PTO, so I gave him a contract. He is there strictly if Rooney gets injured and a center is needed.

Ruzicka and Lewis swap from time to time. Stone provides a veteran presence in case of injury, but Mackey waits in the wings.

TDL wishlist: if Milano joins the team, then nothing. This team is stacked and should compete for #1 in the Pacific division. If Milano doesn't sign, then a middle 6 winger.
