He's coming home! Auston Matthews has signed a 7yr contract with Arizona!!!

This was the only free agent signing we ended up making and the trade for Ryan McDonagh shored up our defense.

Here are the line combinations to start the season:

Nick Schmaltz is now on our 3rd line and since he is making ~$8.5m for this year and next ($5.85m cap hit), we might need to look to move him at some point.

John Farinacci was our 3rd round pick in 2019 and signed after a monster season at Harvard (24G & 22A in 34 games).

Looking ahead, Jakub Chychrun is now in the final year of his contract. Our preference would be to keep him, but we will keep our options open.

We are running out the same two goalies as last year, but we could definitely use an upgrade at this position.

I'd like to see a more even split on the goalie starts, but since I am GM only I can't edit these settings.
Karel Vejmelka is also on the last year of his contract.

What do you think of the team?? We are going to start simming the regular season today, so hopefully another update coming soon!
