August is almost over and before we know it all the Washington Capitals players will be back in town gearing up for another season. There are several questions facing the team. So what are the top three?
There is still plenty of offseason left and the Caps might not be done. After all they’re a little bit in debt salary cap wise. So what will they do about that?
We already talked about Peter Laviolette so we don’t need to answer that in here but you can catch up on that here. What we will bring up here is the goaltending and another subject I don’t know about until later on when I write this.
#3 What will the Caps do about their salary cap situation?
Per Cap Friendly the Caps are $6,321,666 over the salary cap. There has to be a move coming soon. If not before training camp it could certainly come during training camp as the Caps have until opening night to get under the cap.
But who could possibly go. On the forward side of things only Alex Ovechkin and Evgeny Kuznetsov have a higher cap hit than six million and they’re not going anywhere. It could be one or two players for draft picks.
