Hi all. This will be my first dynasty report, so I hope you enjoy! I chose the Washington Capitals as I like to take a poor team and make them better. Boy, do I have my work cut out for me!

The name is a bit of a misnomer, as my first report actually begins about halfway through their inaugural season of 1974-75. Here goes.

The Caps are struggling mightily in their expansion season. GM/Head Coach Joe Forbes has been fruitlessly trying to make trades to improve the team (focusing on the teams defense), but it seems nobody wants to offer anything of value for the entire roster!

The stats so far...

Team record: 5-31-4. Among the five wins are victories over Montreal and Boston, but those would be the highlights of a miserable start.

Team stats: G/G: 1.85, GA/G: 4.83, S/G: 19, SA/G: 44. Last in every team ranking except PIM/G, where they rank 8th.

Goaltending: Michel Belhumeur: 2-10-2, 4.35
Ron Low: 3-21-2, 5.05

Skaters: Yvon Labre: 5-6-11, -29, 66 PIM to lead team
Doug Mohns: 3-11-14, -30
Dave Kryskow: 8-6-14, -17
Bill Lesuk: 5-13-18, -25
Pete Laframboise: 7-9-16, -27
Tommy Williams: 7-22-29, -17

GM Joe Forbes has stated that Michel Belhumeur will see more playing time in the second half, and he will continue to explore trade opportunites. He also said that he will not make trades that are basically lateral moves. Rebuilding the team remains his primary objective, and nobody is untouchable.
