Orpik sucks big time in terms of fancy stats.

Some people don't believe in fancy stats.

 

[Marshall]

For a year and that $$$ I don't see much of a downside. I believe he can even be buried in the minors completely with the new threshold.

Traded a good backup goalie
for
2nd round draft pick
4.5M$ of salary cap
and the possibility to have all the memebers of the Cup winning team together for another run, except the 4c.

We already know the GM of the year 2019.​

He had multiple offers from other teams

I love fancy stats and I'm happy with this signing, needed a veteran D on a 1 year deal that would fit in locker room, plus his 96% postseason on ice save % shut my ass up

 

[hockeykicker]

Have to assume wilson deal done too right? Otherwise wouldn't they have waited on orpik in case they needed that money?

According to Twitter, with the $500,000 in performance bonuses, Orpik has the chance to be whole from the original contract even after the buyout. That is likely something the Caps were willing to do that other teams may not have. If that it the case, then good for both sides.

 

[Corby78]

Love this, even if he falls of the table its at practically zero risk. I suddenly really love the gruby trade.

 

[Bieronymus Trotz]

his 96% postseason on ice save %

That's not exactly a good thing.

I'm gonna assume that the bonus is a very achievable games played bonus.
