I wondered the same thing about a week ago. might as well put him on 10 day IR retroactive at this point. Although...doubtful the Caps need any more short term IR cap relief

I never saw an official announcement from the team, but they must have moved Orlov to IR a few games ago. McMike had to be moved down to make room for Oshie. Someone else will have to be moved down when Orlov is ready. A team can only carry 23 active players, 2 of which are goalies. If Orlov was not on IR the Caps would have 24.
The more interesting part of this, to me anyway, was how the team publicly said Oshie was out long term and they implied Orlov would only miss a couple games.

In case nobody noticed, Seattle is having a pretty good season so far. Their leading scorer is Andre Burakovsky who would also be tied for the Caps point lead if he happened to be here. That was a bad move by management and Vrana for Mantha was much worse. Yea, Vrana has issues right now but the guy is a very good hockey player. You can't make those types of moves and not regress just as you can't give aging veterans 8 year deals.
Mickstix:
They traded Vrana, Panik, a 1st and a 2nd for Mantha.
They gave the Avalanche Burt for some dude I've never heard of and a 2nd round pick.
They gave the Devils Seigenthaler for a 3rd round pick.
Some of the absolute worst moves in franchise history..

Burt and Vrana needed to move on to improve their game. It’s happened before, it will happen again. It’s a bit early to tell but Vtec might be the same. Trading Seigs was a joke. Same for whatshisface they sent to Nashville.
Right now it looks like Strome and Milano have earned spots. Definitely Strome. Caps are gonna have to cut someone.
