Whatever it takes to bring Beagle back to 2016 form.

I just did a cap friendly roster with Ovi at $10m. It can fit if they trade Demko, buy out Lui, Rous, Virt. Sign Petey and Hughes to $6.5m bridge deals.

Miller Pettersson Boeser
Ovechkin Horvat Höglander
Pearson Graovac MacEwan
Motte Beagle Bailey
Highmore
Lockwood

Hughes Myers
Rathbone Schmidt
Joulevi Bouchard
League min spare

Holtby
DiPietro

We won a playoff round, that's it that's all. It was accomplished on the strength of goaltending and that very same goaltending made it look like were much closer than we were.
- golfingsince

True but not making excuses for winning.
Rather pick on reasons for failure.

When does being the cup champ expire? Once someone new wins?

I couldn’t figure out how to add a player that wasn’t either an RFA or a UFA (or trade).

I had 22 players and about $660,000 room left.

Other than Pod the need to fill out the roster properly is a big challenge. Whether buyouts trades or from within it’s imperative next season is a success. No excuses.

You should MTA your armchair GMing but unsigned prospects/RFAs are on the team's reserve list.

Ah, sign reserve list!

Going to have to trade Motte now, he’s too expensive.

The only RFA on the list of reserves is the entitled 8th defenseman giant. Lol
He happens to be signed for 2 or 3 years, in Russia, thankfully.
