WASHINGTON, D.C. - June 2004 - The Capitals made a long term move in Firing Steve Tambellini for untested GM Shawn Mayzes. This is Mayzes first venture as an NHL GM after an honorable carreer as a hired grunt got Electronic Arts.

Currently the team is in off season mode with signings and upgrades to be made.

The team budget stands at a $30,249,500 budget. I don't plan to have it change too much, as I prefer youth over veterans. Most veterans over the age of 32 will be traded or their contracts will be bought out unless they are a pivitol member of the hockey club.

The only player on the NHL club is over 32, and that is Olaf Kolzig, Olie is considered a strong focus of this club as we bring in new goaltenders. I would like them to learn from Olie until he retires. Any other players older in age will expect to be leaders in the lockeroom, on the ice, and off the ice. I want a strong core group to centralize the team around. Spare parts may come and go but every player will be given a chance to become a part of the group.

Currently the team needs to sign the following players:

Code:

Position	Name			Contract	Team
Goal		Rastislav Stana		RFA		Portland Pirates 
Right Wing	Dainius Zubrus		RFA		Washington Capitals
Center		Petr  Sykora		RFA		Unknown

I am unsure of where I am going to place Petr Sykora, I may invite him to camp and evaluate from there, but he's a wildcard for getting a contract this year.

The forward lines currently stand to look like this, but of course this can change at any time as trades and signings come up. Right now we need to fill the voide at LW.

Code:

    RW			     C			      LW
Dainius Zubrus		Jeff Halpern 		Alexander Semin 
Brian Willsie		Jared Aulin 		Matt Pettinger
Stephen Peat		Trent Whitfield		Darcy Verot
Graham Mink		Brian Sutherby		Brooks Laich 
Jonas Johansson		Petr Sykora
Owen Fussey		Tomas Fleischmann
Garret Stroshein	Jakub Klepi
Boyd Gordon		Jason Ulmer

I'm pretty happy with the first couple lines on D. I like the young aggressive talent I have so not much will change with the first few lines on D.

Code:

Brendan Witt		Steve Eminger
Josef Boumedienne	Jason Doig
Shaone Morrisonn	Nolan Yonkman
Jeff Paul		Jakub Cutta
Michel Périard 		Louis Robitaille

Like I said earlier I am expecting Kolzig to lead the likes of Maxime Ouellet & Rastislav Stana. I am expecting Maxime Daigneault to push Stanafor the starting job on the farm club. I'm almost expecting Daigneault to be with the pro club as a backup in 2-3 years, possibly forcing me to trade Stana or Ouellet. Only time will tell, but for this upcoming year I have a lot of pride in my goaltender stock.

Code:

Olaf Kölzig
Maxime Ouellet
Rastislav Stana
Maxime Daigneault
Justin Eddy

As for prospects emerging and playing this year I can see the follwing player pushing for a job

Code:

Alexander Ovechkin
