Yikes that is a bad team....

Not getting enough for taking on Orpik. The Capitals would only be moving 6 spots back and need to give up more if want to do that and the Red Wings take on Orpik’s salary so that they can resign Carlson

Not much else Detroit can do with all the bad contracts... haha

I think Washington would take a later 3rd round pick for their 1st round and taking Orpik. I like the Nyquist / Hartman move. I havent seen that done. I think Detroit would have to find a way to cut ties completely though, they cant afford to hold CAP even if its just for one year. Holland is too loyal to buyout Ericsson and Zetterberg/Kronwall will not allow him to do so.

that's the idea, get younger keep loosing and get jack hughes next year

yeah your right we probably could get more than moving up from Washington.
