No Siegs? 3rd line has no offense. Leason no O in AHL, may be a bust. D weaker. Need changes, trade Kuzy and Orlov, get younger and more hungry.

Assuming Fehervary is ready for a regular NHL shift, I am also a proponent of moving Orlov. Not because he's bad -- because he's good, but at a position (LD) where the Caps have cheaper depth (and hopefully Dillon on a $4 million or less deal) and can use Orlov to address a crying need (right handed D!), or create cap space / bring in return a veteran goalie to back up Samsonov, some youth and speed at wing, shakeup for the 3rd line.

I'm torn on Kuzy. Along with dumping Kempny (sure) and Jensen (no! keep him) for cap space, Kuzy seems to get traded more than any other Cap on this site. And he's a high cap number and an attractive trade target, I think, so I get the argument. And yes, he's terrible on face-offs and not... um... the most reliable defender, let's say, but he can take over a game offensively like no one on the Caps besides #8. I have read all of the "move Kuzy to the wing" arguments, and I'll admit I'm intrigued by that option, but not sure where the 2C comes from in that case. If they move Kuzy, I just hope it's for a terrific return -- younger, cheaper, faster players and/or a terrific RD+ more.

OK, maybe I should just go make a team myself...
