Seeing Jagr on the Caps would be wild

If this is true, I wonder if this means they unload Orlov? Not that Chara is a replacement for him but there were rumors to start the offseason that they wanted to shakeup the core and basically named every piece except Oshie and Orlov as untouchable. No way they trade Oshie so, by process of elimination, they could be looking to move Orlov.

Amazing that Ken Campbell managed a tweet without complaining about what's going on the NHL today. Man that dude drives me nuts.

Makes sense from Washington's perspective to sign Chara. I don't find this shocking at all lol

My caps decide to sign the legends from other teams now?
