Barry Trotz felt that winning the Cup made him deserving of a salary more in line with that of other Cup winning coaches. Apparently, the Caps were offering about 1/3 that number.

It's that time of year again. MAKE YOUR PICKS!
Pick the winners for the first round and the number of games the series will go.
You will also need to pick the eventual winner of both conferences, and the Stanley Cup Champion.
EASTERN
Tampa Bay Lightning vs. Columbus Blue Jackets
Boston Bruins vs. Toronto Maple Leafs
Washington Capitals vs. Carolina Hurricanes
New York Islanders vs. Pittsburgh Penguins
WESTERN
Nashville Predators vs. Dallas Stars
Winnipeg Jets vs. St. Louis Blues
Calgary Flames vs. Colorado Avalanche
San Jose Sharks vs. Vegas Golden Knights
And remember to make your picks for Conference Champs and Stanley Cup Champ
Eastern Winner - ?
Western Winner - ?
Stanley Cup Winner - ?
And straight from Garth last year
But you must hurry. Some games start on Wednesday, so make those picks.It's two points for picking the correct team and an additional point if you get the games right too.
Then two points for each of the finalist and cup winner picks.
The tie breaker will be total goals in the final game - And the tie breaker will be made when we pick for the series
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
And hopefully Garth is still around and keep score for us like usual
The schedule hasn't been announced yet... but it usually starts a few days after the end of the regular season, which was yesterday... so don't miss out and make your picks NOW.
Keep on Civin'

Well if only three people enter, my odds of winning look much better.

Ming, did you just copy your first round from last year? The only winner you picked differently was the Calgary series and that's cause neither of those teams were in it. Of the seven winners you picked from last year you only had a different number of games in 2 of those series

Didn't even realize that... just looked at the same sites as last year, so maybe it isn't a surprise I went pretty much the same way
