I agree with lavsim96. As someone that follows the Caps Armchair GM posts here, this is the most realistic trade that I have seen involving Orpik. The Caps are going to have to PAY someone to take Orpik. The $5.5M cap hit isn't really the issue, it is the $4.5M actual salary that is the issue. The 2nd is for someone to take that salary.
If Orpik's contract was structured so that the actual salary was less, say $1M, then it wouldn't be an issue to move his cap hit, but his actual salary is going to cost the Caps to get rid of.
