Team: 2017-18 Washington Capitals

Initial Creation Date: Jul. 3, 2017

Published: Jul. 3, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

You have to buy out Orpik, no one wants the last 2 years of his rotting corpse even w/ retained money.

The Caps are not getting Duchene. You probably have to part with Grubi for the pick(s).

This squad is thin on depth, light on 3-6th defense, and frankly if Holtby loses his game like he did in the playoffs, then they're beyond screwed.

Cannot see the Caps making waves w/o major retooling.

Pheonix Copley should be the backup goalie.

The only things that you have done are trade Grabauer for cheap, replace Orpik with Nesterov (you have overpaid for him), and taken Ovechkin off of the first line. I don't agree with any of your transactions.
