Thank you the league commissioners for the tireless work and fellow GMs for making this a fun and exciting season.
Washington Capitals season came to an end after the Game 7 loss against Devils. A series in which we just couldn't find a way to take the lead in a convincing manner. As a GM I just never felt like we would win the series, it is a well built team in the sim by Pat.
Third season as the Capitals GM has come to an end I think we have made strides to improve the franchise asset base. Acquiring McDavid is the highlight of the season for myself. Another highlight is trading 10M last season for 16 M in the upcoming season. This sets up quite well to try to compete again for a 3 rd year in a row. The goal has always been to be competitive over numerous years.
Our focus now shifts to next year as we need to compete as we dont hold our 1st round Pick. I never really like the mix of our blue line this year and I am hoping it can have some change for next year. Our forward have improved since last season.
It is unlikely J.Edmundson, R.Faksa, J.Braun, B.Coleman and D.Forbort will return as UFA looms.
