Better throw in a second rounder as well if you want them to take orpik

Yeah Orpik as a main pieces doesn't get you Landeskog try more or less Orlov for starters.

haha orlov is far more valuable to caps than land would be.......

As a Caps fan, as much as I want Orpik's contract moved, I don't want them to do it this way. Landeskog is extremely overrated, and his contract is very similar to Orpik's, just longer term. I definitely don't want us giving up a first rounder, high end defense prospect, and a young forward who isn't done developing in exchange for an overpaid 50 point guy. I'd rather keep my young guys and whatever Orpik can bring to the table in the playoffs, and move him in the offseason.

Bad deal for Washington.

I tend to agree with Krakowitz. Orpik serves a purpose at least this year for the Caps. Heck if Alzner goes this summer, he'll be needed next year. And what does Landeskog really bring to the Caps? For 5.5m, you who expect more. Do the Caps really need another Marcus Johanssen?
