Team: 2017-18 Washington Capitals

Initial Creation Date: Sep. 24, 2017

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Following the first 2 rounds of cuts and 4 preseason games, I have changed my mind on who I think will make the roster. Graovac has been especially impressive.

I could see Chiasson making the roster, maybe instead of DSP or possibly Walker.

As much as I want that to be the top line, they haven't been put together once in the preseason. Seems like Vrana will get the job, which I love. But I like to spread out the damage. Having Vrana's shot on the 3rd line would be nice.

I don't see Trotz putting Vrana on the top line. Maybe Burra goes there and Vrana on the 2nd though.

I had already seen those cuts before I put this together. But this is also what I thought after last night's game but before the cuts.
