Fedor Tyutin (1 year, $2M to Avs) becomes the first of the buyout bunch to land a new team.
Also, Los Angeles never followed through with the Matt Greene buyout. He cleared waivers, but they ultimately didn't buy him out after missing out on Lucic.

Hudler, Vanek, Boedker, PAP, Purcell, Elias all sitting out there. Could be a surprise bargain.

Nathan Gerbe gets a 1 year $600K deal with the Rangers. Not as much two-way upside as Connolly, but more proven offensively and definitely a faster player.

Anyone think that Orlov's agent is still pissy about when he demanded Orlov to be traded or play? Now that Orlov is in a position to not be in the top 4 for probably another three years - I wonder if hes wanting his guy to be moved? If he demanded he play liek three years ago - then I'm sure he even has bigger goals for his guy for this next contract.
Orlovs agent is the same guy as Martin Erats... lol. Probably not a lot of romance with Caps and that guy.

They did lose Stalberg, though. And apparently Grabner had some hernia surgeries that have slowed him down a bit. But the Ragners are definitely trying to keep up with the Penguins in terms of getting the puck up ice quickly

Signing Matt Martin would make the 4th line ridiculously expensive, most likely. I don't think he's going to be a value signing.

Yeah - a good player a lot of teams could use - but you don't need TWO Tom Wilsons.
My god... If Caps had both of them that's about 4 minutes on avg in the penalty box per game, haha. Can't have that.

Thank you. All the talk about the Pens incredible depth around here seems to pretend their 3rd guy on each of their top 2 lines were Oshie and Williams caliber players instead of completely unproven and in no way expected to do anything types.
You want depth up and down the Caps lineup this coming season? Fill the 3rd spot on the each of the top 2 lines with Galiev and Vrana. You can still keep Ovechkin with either Backstrom or Kuznetsov on line 1 and also have talent all over the other 3 lines plus have a couple decently accomplished spares up front.
