Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

You either have to convince management of a full rebuild rn and moving Crosby which will be impossible.

The likely outcome will be going All In with a roster that isnt worthy of going All In , more bad contracts on the books that will look bad in a few years and less assets to play around with in 2 years during the upcoming rebuild which will extend the length of the rebuild.

Any team with 87 on it is worthy of going all in, clean up the mess and we're cup contenders again. We'd go on tears where we'd win 14 out of 20 last year, just a tough ending. This roster is still worth fighting for

How do you clean up the mess though? Easier said than done. Even the best ACGM's on here I'm not sure are legit cup contenders, not to the fault of anyone making them because we are in an almost impossible situation.
