What make you think this is even remotely close to fetching you the Dallas pieces?

Give him a break man... He's got Kuzy playing defense on the PP and Willy playing D on the PK ... Klingberg on the wing with Ovi as a center iceman

The power play is a 1-3-1, not a 3-2. You can assume who is where on the power play if you're a caps fan.

As for the Dallas pieces, I think that a Vezina goalie with a top 6 winger and a second round pick is more than enough for an injury prone Seguin, and a young defenseman. I may have a better offer to edit that I will add in a bit.

It's a good team but I think you over paid orlov by about 2 million also think Dallas would eater a d man with a longer contract maybe sign orlov an trade him then it's a fair trade

I scratched the Eberle addition to save salary cap room and then used Carlson as an additional trade piece to bring in Seguin and Klingberg (who has a pretty cap friendly contract compared to what Carlson will ask for soon).

Also, I think Orlov definitely deserves at least what Niskanen is making on a yearly basis. He has proven to be a top pairing defenseman. I think with additional responsibility to play more minutes, 6.7 mil will be justified.
