Speculation: Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway scratched for trade purposes

[Kegs]

Could be Carolina as well.

 

[Langway]

Los Angeles and Edmonton are the two teams that these guys would fit as a package the best in my opinion

They also have the earliest first rounders at this point so they should be favorites for sure.

 

[Vukotal Recall]

I don't give two shits about the Ovechkin-Wilson Caps, so I know very little about their team. Is Orlov still at the high level of play that he was, like, 5 years ago? And isn't Hathaway essentially a plug?

 

[LemonSauceD]

Is this a new trend now? Being scratched for trade related purposes.

 

[snipes]

This seems like one of the best fits for the Oilers.

Karlsson isn’t happening

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I think it's Boston...

I don't, because I still think they end up with Gavirkov

 

[Takurcitee]

Would be the perfect package to finalize the roster. Assuming it would start with 2024 1st +

What about sandin

 

[CapsFrontOffice]

Honestly it's kinda ballsy for the Capitals to decide to sell, you'd think they'd want to maximize the remaining years they have with Ovechkin and Backstrom. The Penguins probably should take a page from that book, because I think the Caps are making a smart decision in casting aside this year.

Marchand certainly shouldn't be a fan considering Hathaway's typical cheapshot boarding that left him with a shoulder injury no? Bruins will do better.

Trust me, they will be good friends if Hathaway goes to Boston. Hathaway will improve Boston tremendously alone.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Price on Hathaway?

 

[Random schmoe]

Given that the Caps will want to stay good enough to help OV reach the record, and competitive through his final years, I suspect they'll prefer to acquire high end young assets over picks. (Unless they can somehow see the picks turning into a top 1 or 2 selection.)

No they are both amazing players on a shitty team

and the good news is the entire league is about to realize it after Hathaway and Orlov are traded.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I’ve been thinking for a while that the caps should target Buffalo’s first round pick because it has potential to be the highest.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

What about sandin

Would rather deal futures, but if Dubas is fairly confident he can re-sign Orlov I’d probably go for it

 

[Ragdoll]

Holland… Orlov is THAT guy, give up the pieces for him I beg you. Please do something!

 

[Kurtz]

If the rumoured price for Gavrikov is a 1+3, then surely Orlov will bring back the equivalent of a pair of 1sts.

Any team paying that steep of a price will have to see him more than just a rental. Teams like Buffalo, LA, Carolina (playoff hopes + cap room) would make a lot of sense.

 

[Ragdoll]

Any Capitals fans have any rumors on what he’s looking for aav wise on his next contract?

 

[Subway Schenn]

Flip Holl for a pick.

Toronto 1st '24, Sandin +

 

[MMC]

 

[jackjohnson]

I'd do dirty things for Orlov on Toronto

Ok man, keep your thoughts to yourself

 

[Takurcitee]

Would rather deal futures, but if Dubas is fairly confident he can re-sign Orlov I’d probably go for it

Orlov would be huge upgrade on sandin,cap would be tricky next season but I would just go for it now

 

[Holden Caufield]

Washington after that loss to Detroit at home;

 

[RedWhiteBlackGold]

I get Orlov being a UFA at summer is a good trade chip for the caps, what does he likely command on his next contract?

 

[Gurglesons]

If Boston adds Orlov that D group is insane.

 

[jackjohnson]

This seems like one of the best fits for the Oilers.

Karlsson isn’t happening

Probably Oilers or Boston. I doubt anyone will trade for Karlsson and his contract unless SJ trades him last minute for a much reduced return

 

[pman25]

Going to be interesting to see how this he Bruins are with Hathaway in the room

Every team hates Hathaway though. He’s a good dude but on the ice, probably the most hated guy out there.

Such a good addition to a playoff squad though. He will make it all about him and draw some penalties. Literally every scrum he’s a complete and total dick. I love him
