Offseason Recap - Heading to 2023/24!

We are back! After sorting out some computer issues, we have restored this save and below is an offseason recap as we head to the 2023/24 season!

Brad Richardson & Justin Braun retired (neither would've been resigned)

July 4th - Rasmus Ristolainen (4yr & $21.5m) traded to Chicago for Connor Murphy (3yr & $13.2m)
We needed to move RR55 and we found a willing partner in Chicago. We save ~8.3m in total salary and still have a usable player in Murphy as a #6/7 Dman.

Draft Lottery - Ducks won the lottery and picked Bedard, Montreal got 2nd pick and took Michkov, LA got 3rd pick and look Charlie Stramel (NCAA), Buffalo picked Tyler Peddle (QMJHL) 4th and we picked Adam Fantilli 5th overall!
With the 45th overall pick we selected Cameron Allen (OHL).

October 11 - Cam York (w/ a 4th rounder) traded to San Jose for Mario Ferraro (3yr at $3.25m per)
While checking the trading block prior to the start of the season we stumbled across Ferraro. He averaged ~20min a game last year (game rating of "70") and will start the year on our 3rd pair.

Let's take a look at the forwards as we start a new season:



We have too many RW right now. Zayde Wisdom (listed as C, but more of a RW) & Bobby Brink both sitting to start the season.
Cam Atkinson (just turned 34) might be a logical trade candidate, so this will be something we keep an eye on.

Here are the Dmen as we start a new season:



Tortorella wants to sit Ryan Ellis, but we will try to force him to play him over Ronnie Attard / Connor Muprhy. We'd like see if he can at least contribute since he is signed for 4yr and $24m total.

Carter Hart is going to take the lions share of the workload with 6'8" Ivan Fedotov backing him up.

Here are our current salary cap obligations:



We will sim ~28 games or so (maybe to around January 1st) to get 1/3 of the season underway and come back with a recap!
