Good work

Capitals have been very stingy this offseason. Fans are not happy as we went in with a fair bit of cap space and only managed to snag a few players. Marc Staal joins us on the blue line. Craig Anderson returns to us after his season last year where he played 40 games for us. Jonathan Bernier was also another goalie who comes in to back up Tristan Jarry.
Jack Johnson joins us via trade from his recent CPHL Championship with the Wild. Hoping he can bring some of his winning ways.
The fans haven't been too happy with the GM as the GM has taken a patient approach by trading cap this year for next year. Some of the teams WSH has sent money to are TOR, NYI and DAL. It remains to be seen if the conference rivals can be caught in the standings even after sending them money this year.
Capitals as always will be active and in the middle of things.

Washington Capitals roster is starting to fill out with the last few moves that have been made. Bringing in O.Sundqvist, J.Neal, B.Connolly and C.Hutton has been the last few moves to finalize the roster. The CPHL scoring looks weak but the team is hoping that the team is greater than the sum of its parts.
Trading of Bernier was a tough decision as we really liked that contract but he is replacable and addressing the C position on the 4th line is something we wanted to do.
Below is our current projected roster. We are only posting so Harry can have a team he can beat on paper.
A.Iafallo (72) - P.Danault (73) - P.Kessel (72)
N.Niederreiter (71) - B. Sutter (69) - J.Neal (68)
A.Chiasson (67) - R.Faksa (68) - T.Terry (68)
A.Anisimov (67) - O.Sundqvist (68) - B.Connolly(67)
M.Giordano (74)- S.Gostisbehere (69)
D.Forbort (68) - O. Klefbom (71)
M.Staal (68) - J.Johnson (68)
T.Jarry (87)
C.Anderson (79)
Scratches - T.Graovac (65), N,Mikkola (68), A.Erne (67), A.Ladd (64), J.Tinordi (66), C. Hutton (78)

Some good progress
Some interesting decisions coming up this year as to do you sell off some high rated vets to strengthen the asset base or go for a run

Washington Capitals Update - Figured it had been a month since I typed out an update.
As we write this the Capitals have a 19-16-3 record with a negative goal differential. Almost half the season has been played and Capitals are inching towards the last playoff spot (need to catch Pittsburgh). We have a 8-2-0 record in the last 10 meaning we have either had an easy stretch of opponents or we are finding some chemistry. We lost Giordano, Klefbom and Sanford to injury since our last update. David Savard came up from the farm and filled in beautifully when asked, for that we thanked him and waived him as soon as we can. So the last 30 or so games have gone better than the first 20.
We have continued our search of chemistry by waiving and buying out players we cant get going in the sim. Since the last update we have signed some depth players like Devin Shore, Ryan Carpenter, Mirco Mueller, Jacob de la Rose (for the 2nd time this season) and Dysin Mayo.
When asked what has been the reason of success, GM Bagopucks had this to say, "I have no clue but its working"
Capitals also have recently signed free agents Massimo Rizzo and Matthew Stienburg. Both are putting up points in the NCAA, that might be all we know about them.
Not much to report in terms of prospect update. Brandt Clarke not being selected to WJC-U20 is a disappointment but meh, we will find a way to recover from our heartbreak.
Hope we can continue our strong play of late and see where we stand in the standings closer to the end of the season.
Below is our current roster.
A.Iafallo (72) - P.Danault (73) - P.Kessel (72)
Z.Sanford (69) - B. Sutter (69) - O.Sundqvist (68)
N.Gusev (70) - R.Faksa (68) - D.Shore (66)
Jacob de la Rose (66) - B.Boyle (67) - R.Carpenter (66)
M.Giordano (74)- S.Gostisbehere (69)
D.Forbort (68) - E.Johnson (71)
M.Staal (68) – N,Mikkola (68)
T.Jarry (87)
C.Anderson (79)
Scratches - D. Mayo (59), J.Tinordi (66), C. Hutton (78)

Capitals Update
2021-2022 CPHL regular season was a mixed bag of experience for GM Bagopucks but overall a success as the goal was to make the playoffs without spending too much of the futures.
Making the playoffs came as a large surprise after losing the last two games of the season and letting other teams decide our fate.
At deadline we made 5 player deals to bring in some veterans in Joel Armia, Alex Radulov, Andy Greene, Jay Beagle, Colton Sceviour, Greg Pateryn and Cal Clutterbuck.
Armia is a guy we had shown some interest in early on but his NHL play had dropped further than we had hoped. However, his current rating of 70 OV GM Bagopucks decided to see if the price was right on him. The acquisition price of 2023 3rd and a 2022 5th was fair in my mind given the long term nature of his deal and his NHL play dropping off.
Radulov was another player we had dicussed earlier in the season but the price was too high. Another NHLer whos play in the NHL has dropped off and is on a long term CPHL deal. At 71 OV and the right price of 2022 3rd and a 4th GM Bagopucks is excited to add another forward with some offence to the ranks.
Clutterbuck brings good energy, high CK and DF so we were happy to send Devin Shore in exchange for him without cap. Devin was an RFA but we were okay trading for the improved ratings.
Greene brings veteran leadership to the blue line. We have some young players in the 5/6 slot who could be sat in exchange for Greene providing some stability on the back end. However at a tender age of 38 we do wonder how much workload Greene can handle. Green is on a 2 year deal.
Beagle is a depth C that win faceoffs and strong defensively. He is on a 2 year deal so hoping he can stay productive.
Sceviour is a depth C. GM Bagopucks screwed this deal up and thought he could be moved to the RW/LW. Turns out he can only play C and the league only does position changes in the offseason. So odds are he wont see much action.
Pateryn is a big hard hitting D man who is going to be a depth option if we run into injuries.
We missed out on Allen from Colorado but I guess we cant win them all.
Overall, we acquired players with term without really touching too much of the quality in our draft capital. This was important to us as we are a franchise that is still building while being competitive. We would have preferred to have brought in pending UFAs but we were so late to the party that either that either pending UFAs had found homes or GMs were not in the office.
Now we wait to find out who we play in the first round and how far this team can take us.
Current Roster
A.Iafallo (72) - P.Danault (73) - A.Radulov (71)
J.Armia (70) - B. Sutter (69) - J.Bailey (71)
Z.Sanford (69) - R.Faksa (68) - N. Foligno (69)
O.Sundqvist (68) - J.Beagle (66) - C.Clutterbuck (68)
M.Giordano (74)- S.Gostisbehere (69)
D.Forbort (68) - L.Sbisa (69)
M.Staal (68) – A.Greene (69)
T.Jarry (87)
C.Anderson (79)
Scratches - G.Pateryn (67), D. Mayo (59), N.Mikkola (67), T.Pitlick (67)
