Team: 2024-25 Washington Capitals

Initial Creation Date: Mar. 29, 2024

Published: Mar. 29, 2024

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Two big needs are a d-man on the left side with some grit and a forward that can effectively play the wing and center. Those options include Stamkos, Duchene, Stephenson, Monahan, etc... I liked Dillon a lot when the Caps had him in the past. Would love for him to slot in on the third pairing with the ability to play up in the lineup. Iorio and Miro start year in Hershey, but both are first call ups when injuries or poor play occurs. Caps start year with 3 goaltenders due to Kuemper's poor play this past season.

Alexeyev to ANYWHERE. He needs a fresh start and I can see him getting a late round pick.

If OTT fails to get interest from a bigger name UFA RHD then I'd happily pay that 2025 3rd for TVR.
