I can't quite judge the DET-WSH trade appropriately because I don't know much about Orlov's value but I can tell you more details about Tatar.
First off I wouldn't read too much into the 4th line deployment as he averaged 15 minutes a game, around 10 minutes more than both of his line mates. I'm not really sure why the line-up was made like that or how deployment worked though. He also led the team in scoring (3A in 5GP) so he was able to produce.
Second he was the top possession driver on our team this season other than Datsyuk, was 2nd in G, 5th in A, and 3rd in P. That being said, Detroit was a poor team offensively this season so those stats aren't as impressive on other teams but it goes to show his value to Detroit.
Depending on Orlov's value I could see a trade like this working. One of Tatar or Nyquist are rumored/hoped to be on the move this off season for a defenseman although I believe that the preference would be Nyquist and for a RHD rather than a LHD.
All together a pretty good line-up, as LeafsFan said the trades address each team's needs and surplusses. Plus as a Detroit fan, I would love to see Helm go to WSH and think he would be the perfect 3C there.
Now a question for you, OP, is Johansson believed to be on the block this offseason? Why, if so?
