Good move

 

[Brian23]

This does make me question how much value Grubauer had if we got the 2nd while including Orpik.

 

[Hivemind]

Not the draft pick I wanted, but the cap space more than makes up for it

 

[895]

This proves Orpik had negative value.

People here were insisting he had positive value.

Super glad the Isles didn't get Grubauer.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Hate seeing both guys go, but that’s a fair return

 

[Corby78]

Please tell me this is a joke. No way that’s a fair return I don’t care if it frees up space. We better be planning on another move

John Carlson is the other move

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Seems like a good trade for both teams.

I guess we get to see if the locker room is mature enough to handle the loss of Orpik.

Lol, what happened to “we could get a first round pick for Grubauer?”

Orpik was a salary dump so Carlson can get signed.

This is Brooks Orpik + Phillip Grubauer for a 2nd, John Carlson, Michael Kempny, and Tom Wilson.

 

[895]

I think our roster is pretty much set now minus a few small tinkers.

Ovechkin-Kuznetsov-Wilson
Vrana-Backstrom-Oshie
Burakovsky-Eller-Connolly
AJF-Stephenson-DSP
Walker

Orlov-Niskanen
Kempny-Carlson
Djoos-Bowey/UFA

Holtby
Copley/Samsonov

Orpik back to Washington in free agency after Colorado buys him out

 

[895]

People were seriously delusional about Grubauer and Orpik's value. The 12th overall pick for Grubauer. Sheesh.

 

[Brian23]

I wanna believe.

Wow I would be totally okay with this.

I mean, you can't both think Orpik had negative value and then Grubby has little value for them to get the 2nd. The reality is Grubby had a lot of value and him being taken with Orpik lowered it some. I think Grubby alone could bring back a mid first.

I guess Orpik didn't have value like I thought, though I think it was more they're time strapped again and haven't had the time to really put a lot of feelers out.

8 year 60 would be sweet and leave space for more adds

Dubious source. Seems way too cheap as well

 

[Carlzner]

Thanks for the cup, Brooks. Always got too much hate on here.

 

[Jags]

Lol, what happened to “we could get a first round pick for Grubauer?”

They sacrificed some of Grubauer's value to move all of Orpik's cap hit. That's a pretty solid move.

Yeah probably.

All the best to Brooks and Philipp.
