Speculation: Caps Roster General Discussion (Coaching/FAs/Cap/Lines/etc) | 2024-25 Summer Edition

It’s too thick for
Opening night. Gotta chop quite a few skaters, and of course a G.

23 players max, 2 are G, so 21 skaters.

That’s 26 listed skaters and 3 G’s. They need to dump 6 players, min.

And get under the cap. Definitely part of the equation.

So….. Milano is the new whipping boy? And we haven’t even played a game yet?

Huh. At 1.9m/season, I’m not sure how anyone can be upset about the year he had.

And since he’s done nothing negative since then, I’m a little lost w the Milano scrutiny.

I don’t consider Milano a whipping boy. But if Cristall stays, he is really the only one that could come out.

My thoughts anyway.

Man, these are not easy decisions.

Man, these are not easy decisions.

It's why we get paid the big bucks to decide for the organization. You've done well HF'rs! ...add another zero to your check this week!

Miro is not going to make the team as the 13th or 14th forward. If the earlier lines posted were correct, I believe Vrana has made the team as the 13th forward (though I suppose they could keep Sgarbossa instead). Miro, Cristall, and Parascak would go down in that scenario.

Big if, obviously. Still two weeks until opening night.

I am pretty confident that Bear will start the year in the AHL. AA and McIlrath are fighting to be 7D. Caps should be fine cap wise with Backstrom and Oshie on LTIR.
