The Avalanche placed him on waivers a day later, with the intention of buying out the final year of his deal.
Reports at the time suggested a return to Washington — on a new, more team-friendly contract, of course — would not be out of the question for Orpik and the Stanley Cup champions.

Orpik, 37, brings physicality and shot-blocking to the Capitals’ blue line, as well as leadership to the locker room. He tallied a team-leading 168 blocked shots in 2017-18, along with 10 assists in 81 regular season games. He also added a goal and four assists during Washington’s run all the way to its first-ever Stanley Cup victory.
“Brooks has been a valuable player and a great mentor for our young players and we are thrilled to bring him back to our organization,” Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said in the team’s press release. “We feel his leadership and competitiveness on and off the ice will be welcomed back to our group.”
