Oh but it does, if they go that route. Per Cap Friendly — they are $4,106,667 over the Cap.
Milano and TVR = 4.9mil. And they’d have room to add a min salary forward.
Not ideal, but it’s possible

Fair, but you need to add two bodies to have 13F and 8D. They could also bury Bear in AHL to free up another million. So as you said, possible but difficult and messy. I just don’t think Caps would have done that without Oshie’s input on his health. And it just feels different with Oshie.

Agreed, it is what it is, but he just needs to prove it now. No one gives a shit about Kyle Shanahan's pedigree anymore. Helped him get the first job, but he had to earn it from there. This guy's had real jobs in the organization for a long time. I just hope his style is similar to Mac's -- I like that our GM avoided cameras and played everything close to the vest.
It feels ceremonial. When they knight a guy in the UK, they don't stop calling him by his name. They just add the Sir. So Mac is President GMBM, or PGMBM. I'm sticking with Mac though, and the new guy has to do something worthwhile with his name on it before I start calling him anything.
DISCLAIMER: Unless he does what I suggested and does the job exactly like Mac, in which case he's a carbon copy. And if he's a carbon copy, then he's CCCP, and that's some Soviet commie shit right there. Wait... Commie, Commanders, Ovi's connection to Putin... It's a DC conspiracy. Call Alex Jones, STAT!
Taking a last run with CapFriendly before it’s gone. Took a stab at lines as well with full 23 man roster (13F-8D-2G). $5,000 under the cap! Haha
Oh I agree with you, much as I hate it. Productive/Healthy Oshie would be a big lift for this team. They lose so much — arguably as important as any player on the roster — but it is what it is.
My hope is that he sincerely looks at options, no matter how long it takes, and magically can Kucherov if/when we make the playoffs.
That would be our best “deadline” addition.
That’s a reach though, of which I am *well* aware.
Yeah, that’s the team. I’d switch CMM and Lappy, but that’s it.
That’s a pretty good team, IMO. Heckuva lot more dynamic and — seemingly — cohesive. Especially the defense.
Will be fun to see it work. Probably very frustrating too, as there will be some messy times, with all the new faces learning each other.
I couple of weeks ago i had Lappy at wing. Kinda changed my mind reading articles and press conferences and one thing that made sense is not messing with Lappy mojo coming off Calder MVP. And then Carberry saying McMichael can easily transition to wing which is probably what his initial thoughts are. He knows McMike well.
I think you (and others) mentioned this before but so many options to move people up and down the lineup and left and right two additional center options in top 12. Lots of opportunities to find the right chemistry.
We almost didn’t renew our seasons tickets. now I’m feeling really good and excited about it!

If I were the Capitals I would have left CapFriendly active but introduced several small bugs and pieces of misinformation. Inaccurate salary info for some players, falsehoods in the CBA FAQ, funny math in the buyout calculator, etc.

Sounds about right. From a free agency and trade perspective they had as close to an A+ offseason as is possible without doing the One Weird Trick To Improve Your Team.
They vastly improved from "extremely lucky to be a wild card team" to "should be a wild card team".
Just use PuckPedia, they have a new ArmchairGM tool. Its really not that big of a downgrade. In fact on mobile devices I like the GM tool better. They're really cranking out the upgrades right now to fill the void and get on the same level.

Glad to see him stepping up to the top fin league this year. I was a little concerned about his development path last year when they announced him playing in tier 2. I thought the natural progression would have been the SHL or a second season in Sweden tier 2.

They've probably been over or within 1% of the cap 15 straight years

So far, I have been happy with the offseason. I needed to complain about something eventually.
Honestly, I know nothing about this player.

His profile at elite prospects had him playing there for next season a few weeks ago. He must have signed a contract with them and it was finally made official?
