I got a pitch here for you, Oilers give you Puljujarvi + 1st for orlov at 50% retained

I think the Caps could get more for Orlov, especially with 50% retention

Im sure Edmonton would be more than willing to throw in another piece like a 2nd or a prospect like Savoie, Lavoie or Petrov

Yeah I think they would have to. A late 1st and a dude who has had a horrible season (so far) with an expiring contract is not really enticing in exchange for a very, very solid top 4 defender

I'm not sure how you got the cap to work here but value is completely fine IMO

If Caps end up being sellers then for sure, but they have been getting better lately and are about to get Wilson and Orlov back with Backy not too far in the future it seems. So unless they get wrecked again by injuries I doubt they sell. But if they do then deal!
