Washington doesn't need a whole 5.5M in cap space, so the Yotes could certainly dump back up to 3M of whoever isn't in their plans (or more if it's divided among several contracts the Caps can buy out and stick in the minors for more cap relief, but Orpik is better than a lot of the Coyotes' defensemen, and can help them spend below the cap floor by an additional million, while bringing leadership, a Cup ring, and the longest active streak of years winning at least one playoff round, now at six.

Orpik's in the top forty defensemen in playoff points, currently tied with Ivan Provorov and Ian Cole for 34th, with three assists.

I'm looking for insight into which of their expiring contracts the Coyotes might consider trading away next year at the deadline, and whether they're interested in taking on more Kruger-style ballast to keep them above the cap floor without necessarily paying full sticker price.

They just traded a good young player in Jordan Martinook to get a 3M AHLer in Kruger, so with all due respect.....</div></div>

That is true Chayka has made some questionable moves however if Arizona takes his contract then they should atleast also get a second round pick. The reason I think the yotes got Kruger is because I do not think Brad Richardson will not be back next season and Jordan Martinook was moved just to make room for Lawson Crouse
