I think the Caps will be really good next season (depending on who they bring in obviously). But this old team has the potential to get some new life in them. Hear me out:
In order of priorities:
Trade Eller - sub in McMichael - gives you around $9.5 mil
Buy out Hags (or he retires)
Resign Sammy (or VV depending on who management wants - I would say Sammy for 2 x $2.5mil)
Bring in a goaltender - either Kuemper or Husso. I do not want anyone else. Holtby is past his time (and people forget that yes he had a great postseason in 2018, but leading up to that, he was pretty awful in the regular season).
Bring in a solid top 6 goal scorer (like Mikheyev or Nichushkin)
Bring in a defensive dman (preferably LHD) or assess Alexeyev and Johansen (last I heard, Alexeyev had a so so year and Johansen finally is coming together)
