Thread: Does this cut it?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mr_cap</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Habs_fan31</b></div><div>No way can Montreal afford Orpik, he has 2 years left after this season at 5.5 million, That money wasted on Orpik could be the difference in re-signing Price in a next offseason. Not to mention Orpik is a left hand shot and Montreal has enough of them already. Great trade for the Caps tho.</div></div>

Understand your reasoning but from my perspective, they get a prospect and a pick that they can maybe flip for something immediate (depth or a bigger package) for a run. The bad part about it is the contract but Orpik is still a good hard hitting Dman who I think Bergy will admire. So I mean you gain something but you also take a hit. Risky situation-agreed but if it helps them then why not.</div></div>


It could be helpful this season but i see the risk as too high especially if might mean costing us our franchise player because we don't have enough cap room. Montreal may want a forward prospect also as they have a good supply of D prospects. Really don't see an upside for the habs on this trade, I can't get passed the salary and the fact Orpik will be 37 next year.
