This is an interesting trade idea, but I'm not sure Washington would go for this. The main stickler here (at least for me) is that Provorov would be on the wrong side, and Washington would have to try and move either Orlov or Fehervary to the right side to make it work. A defensive core of:
Provorov-Orlov
Fehervary-Jensen
Alexeyev-Van Riemsdyk
Could work, but I'm not sure if the Caps would be confident enough in it. It would be a little disappointing to trade Mantha, but I wouldn't mind Konecny as a substitute. Other problem is that of Oskar Lindblom, who Washington may not have cap space for, but that could be ironed out and I have no doubt that a different trade could be found for Lindblom.
