Capitals in another surprising move have brought in Centre Nicklas Backstrom.

The deal breaks down as below:

Capitals acquire:
Backstrom and Patrick Nemeth

Leafs acquire:
Mike Matheson, Carter Verhaeghe, Prospect: Daniel Torgersson and 2021 1st 28th OV or better owed by the Isles.

Capitals since taking over have not been happy with the results of the team.
Brent Burns, Nicklas Backstrom and Phil Kessel have the largest contracts and are expected to continue carrying the torch next season.

Some fans were outraged with the trading of prospects and a 1st Round pick but GM Bagopucks believes in having quality CPHL roster for the young guys to learn from.

Capitals have also been busy in signing some young players. Some of the players signed are:

Philip Kemp - Stay at home Dman. He brings something the NHL Oilers dont have enough of. Hoping he can push up the depth chart faster because of it

Juuso Parssinen - Defensive Forward who is playing in the Liiga at 19. Hoping he can continue his trajectory of putting up some points

Alex Jeffries - NCAA forward. Putting up points early in the season with injuries. Hoping he can continue shining in D+1 year

Linus Oberg - 20 year old SHL forward who has scored a bunch of goals. Hoping he takes a step forward this year. 7th rounder from 2019

Overall, the team is patient and wanting to build from within. However, we will most likely spend to the cap and build towards the playoffs next season.

Currently, the roster is

Alex Iafallo - Nicklas Backstrom - Phil Kessel
Andreas Johnsson - Cody Eakin - Kyle Okposo
Zack Smith - Nic Dowd - Richard Panik
Matt Martin - Drake Caggiula - Rocco Grimaldi

Brent Burns - Patrick Nemeth
Brent Seabrook - Brendan Smith
Danny Dekeyser - Greg Pateryn
