CapGeek Roster thread, 24-25

Key considerations.
1) Needed a Top 6 Winger.
2) Bought out Holl. Needed a RD
3) Needed a true starting goalie.

After paying Raymond $8x8 - maybe a mill too high - and Seider $9Mx8 - maybe $500,000 too high, the cap quickly was absorbed.
Veleno got $1.2x2. I signed Fischer to $1.6x3 - maybe $300,000 too much - but I was trying not to be pie in the sky.
I got Zadorov to be our RD. Not great. But he's a big physical D RD who can take some Dzone pressure off of Seider.
Suddenly, you realize, there's no room for Kane. And your 2nd line looks like shit.
How the fuck did this happen?
So, I went back to the David Perron well and brought him back at 1x$3.5M.
The good thing is, this creates room for prospects like Berggren, Mazur, Kasper and Soderblom.
On D, Edvinsson is penciled in.
There's room here to trade Maatta and bring up Johansson. Even if he is a 7D, I'd do it.
Husso and Lyon in net. There's no money to go get a 1G.

Looking down the road... man. Fabbri and Husso are the only significant contracts coming off.
Line 1 was pretty good at the end. Keep them together.
Line 2... Fabbri-Compher-Perron - blech.
Line 3 is our forecheck, defense and matchup line.
Line 4 is going to be a grind line, energy line with a bit of skill.
When Fabbri gets injured, that's a chance for Berggren or Mazur to move up. And then Mazur or Sodeblom to get called up.
Maybe Walman goes back to Seider
Chiarot-Zadorov would be a pretty big, physical 2nd pairing.
Ed cuts his teeth with the veteran Petry.
In goal, Husso/Lyon are the random... which could be a recipe for disaster.
Wings gotta sign som 3G AHLG
