Fun exercise. McDavid every day should be on team over Draissatl, can find other savings swapping Landeskog on 3rd line. Also bit of a reach to suggest Bouchard is one the 6 best D in league for under. Also if Marchand is out half season on LTIR do you get to go over cap to replace?

I like it

I made my own here just now: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/3537550

Tried to diffentiate it, but quite a few guys who basically have to be on a team like this. Big difference is that you seemed to go with "actual" 4th liners that were good values while I just made the overall best team I could think of, giving myself the somewhat lenient limitation of 5 ELCs in total.

IMO if you’re making one of these Tage Thompson should be a lock. Put up 38 goals and is making 1.4 mil.
Could take off Marchand, move JT Miller to 2LW, Tage in at 3C, and use the cap savings to upgrade from Giordano.
