<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>When have they ever used him as an offensive defensemen? He was part of the high end shut down pair of Orlov-Nisky. He was put with Carlson to play defense for him. He gets about zero PP time. He was never ever expected to put up points. Ever.

2 way is offense and defense. Doesn't mean you need to be an elite offensive weapon. He's a guy you can put out there to shut down opponets and put up 30+ points a season. He does all of that. He's great. Numbers aren't everything and the eye test sometimes help. In this case, it helps. By the eyes he's fantastic.</div></div>

Yes two-way doesn't require fantastic offense, but it needs more than 3 points over 22 games. Also, Orlov gets lots of pp time, after Carlson it's always either him or Schultz depending on who's more fresh, I'm sorry that you disagree but as far as I can tell Orlov is an overpaid player that could benefit from a trade. His value is 100% less than a first round pick plus to most gms though

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>The issue is you're still looking at offensive stats. He is not an offensive defensemen. He isn't paid to be Carlson or Green. He's paid to be a great 2 way player and that is exactly what he is.

Orlov increases our chances to win every night. He's our best all around defensemen. I will never understand how some people think Orlov is bad. It's absolutely mind boggling to me. His analytics have always been top of the game.</div></div>

First of all the caps are trying to use him as an offensive defenseman which hurts his value but secondly what does two-way mean? Defense AND offense, you need to at least recognize he's not strong enough offensively to be paid like a great two-way player because he simply isn't. Analytics aren't everything, sometimes the classic eye test is all you need

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ClockReads2113</b></div><div>Again, EVERY player EVER has slumps. You don't trade one of the best two way defensemen in the game because in a weird shortened season he put up 3 points in the first 20 games.</div></div>

Like I said, anything over 20 games is NOT a slump, it's just plain bad. Here's the problem with inconsistent players, even though stats might balance out by the end of the year what that doesn't show you is that when they're at their worst, they are a clear liability to the team and cost them wins. You cannot look at how Orlov played in January and February this year and be able to justify calling him one of the best two-way defensemen in the game. It's been like this since 2018-19, Orlov balances out his stats by year end but during some 20 game chunk at the start or mid-season he's nothing on offense, a defensive liability, and a player that costs the team wins. I'm not for keeping around a guy who will decrease your odds of winning in about 25% of games, other teams know that too and they won't give up a first round pick and more to acquire him. I rest my case.
