My thoughts on the Caps moves thus far

I don't know exactly what's going on in George McPhee's mind, but he has clearly shown that he is willing to shake up the roster, and I doubt he's finished. The Capitals are going to try to clear some cap room and that means more players are getting traded, more new players are coming into DC, and expect to see some new faces once training camp opens. By the way, this is descending based on time.

Capitals Impending Free Agency

So, the Capitals have a lot of their players that are restricted free agents (RFAs) or unrestricted free agents (UFAs) and the goal is to get under the salary cap. This season it's been set at $64.3 million dollars. Looking at the table below, you can see who's signed so far and how much their cap hit is. Also, I will note that the Capitals have 10 forwards, 7 defensemen, and 1 goaltender on the roster for now. More on that later...
