Wayne is about right I think. Half the d-core and 4-6 forwards would be nice. And I think Mick is right...this season is done. Caps are potentially 1 loss from being 2nd worst in all the east.
I'm certainly keeping Chychrun, and Roy has been good this year. Fever would be better if he had a reasonable partner, so he stays for me I think.
TVR is the 1st I'd lose, with Carlson close on his heels. I'd entertain any offer for Sandin as well. BigMac is going nowhere, but he's really just an emergency fill in....play maybe 10 games a year when someone else is hurt....probably less next year. Chisholm skates better than i thought....why he doesn't play over TVR now I can't figure. Haven't seen enough of him to really assess.
Wilson, Leno, Sourdiff, Protas, Strome are all keepers in my book. Ovi is untouchable...I think he will play 1 more year, but if they blow up the team who knows. I'm giving Ovi grace 1 more season, but okay if he decides to hang them up too. McMike stays unless someone is willing to give up something substantial for him.
Lappy, Milano, Dowd should be gone.
Dewey is a toss up, Beavy I could take or leave him, same with Frank - (happily accept a trade for these guys, or keep as 3/4 line guys at a bargain price)
Keeping both goalies.
I'd rather see the Caps bring up 3-4 guys from Hershey next year (AS WELL AS bring in talent from elsewhere) than to see TVR, Carlson, Dowd, Milano, Lappy, same ole same ole underperforming & old-aged guys back again. Hell, trade these guys NOW and bring up guys from Hershey to give them a shot. Lil Pro, Miro, Cristall, etc.
