Salary Cap Mode: Basic

People who say the caps aren’t good enough to make the playoffs are wrong. They r good, they can beat good teams, they can dominate for periods of time(December) but I think during times like this they just don’t seem to be motivated, would be my guess because they are good enough they actually have more of their best players back since December but they r not winning. They just need to put the right youth with vets and win. I mean why did they call up McIlrath when they should be putting Alexeyev in the lineup. Why is Alexeyev a healthy scratch for so long he is a young prospect who should have a spot and he doesn’t gain anything from being scratched the whole year, I would rather him than Irwin and definitely not McIlrath I like this team below the only thing I would switch is if this doesn’t get Mantha going after his injury or he stays injured I would put Snively in that spot since they signed him to a 2 year one way contract and then decided not to play him, he was good when he was in and he really clicked on that line with Oshie and Strome. I think at the deadline they dump Eller if they need cap space and/or they could trade Mantha if they can get something good for him but we’ll see. I think Mantha is a good player with his confidence destroyed
