Objective: Try and build the best cap compliant team over a four year period.
Rules:
- Top 9 forwards and top 4 defensemen.
- Skaters must be signed through 2026-2027, goalies are exempt.
- Cannot exceed the cap in any year, including goalies and league minimum contracts for 4th line forwards, 3rd pair defensemen and BUGs.
Notes:
This is basically a compilation of the best contracts in the league. I elected going for the best available center (MacKinnon) and defenseman (Makar) signed through 26-27 and then got the best bargain contracts to round out the roster. There are tons of ways you could do this (Hughes, Aho, Petterson for 1C, or Fox, Hughes, Macavoy for 1D and spread the money more.)
