Thread: Orlov out
Very interested in this page, thanks. While I agree that Lundqvist is probably a happy fantasy, I think I have the same operating idea that you do, <a href="/users/Capitalfail67" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@Capitalfail67</a>. If (hopefully) the Caps resign Dillon, and have Siegs and Fehervary on cheap contracts, then Orlov, while a good, solid, 2nd pair (2nd pair plus?) D man on a reasonable contract, becomes expendable as a tool to improve the right side where Carlson and Jensen are the only NHL/NHL-ready RD the Caps' have. (#1 offseason need.) So, without blowing up the whole team structure (by which I guess I mean keeping Kuzy, if at all possible)... I am curious who people think are reasonable RD targets for the Caps to pursue within their cap constraints, and what Orlov could fetch in a trade. Vatanen as a UFA is appealing (as are DeMelo and Van Riemsdyk, to lesser degrees), but I wonder if he is going to get more than 5x$5mil as a UFA. Curious about Ilya Lyubushkin (Coyotes RFA), but I don't know a ton about him besides him underlying numbers look good. Wondering if Dumba or Adam Larsson could be trade targets. Any other RD who seem like reasonable adds? Thanks.

Thread: What are their values
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Suzuki_Cup</b></div><div>No way Brodin or Dumba gets you a 1st line center. It took a young #4 ovr Seth Jones to move Ryan Johansen, who is not close from being the best #1 in the league, so forget it for a 26 yo who has 1 season over 34 pts and a 27 yo who has 1 season over 25 pts. Even Petry, who has way better numbers and who is pretty reliable defensively doesn't get you a lot more than a mid aged 2nd center.</div></div>

Washington Capitals fan... loaded at LD, weak at RD. What does it take to get Dumba to DC? Assuming Wild don't see Orlov as a particularly good fit (above average LD, but that's not a Min area of need I don't think), and Kuznetzov is theoretically available, but he surely costs more than Dumba. Interested in any of your thoughts, thanks.
