Off to a 35-10-1 start and my Washington Capitals have only gone through minor changes to the team since last post season. Unfortunately I had to trade a few guys to get enough cap space to re-sign young contract hold outs Shawn Forney and Jussi Kemppainen. Luckily these were minor deals in the grand scheme of things and my team is definitely strong with these 2 options with us.

Here is the lineup, followed by midseason statistics.
