2023 NHL trade deadline
Beaglefan2:
I don't remember if teams can re-sign UFA players that they trade after the year is over?
If so, it seems that the Caps would negotiate with every player that they like and try to come to a reasonable price before the deadline. For instance, Orlov. He might actually want to stay and let's say the Caps get him to agree to a deal at some number - say $4M per year. Then before they actually sign him, they go to him and say they could trade him for a second round pick to a Cup contender, but that they intend to sign him in the summer at $4.1M per year. He does the club a favor and agrees to the trade and the Caps do him a favor by letting him go to a contender and giving him a little more $ when they do sign him. I'm sure this is not allowable, but makes a lot of sense.
Assuming it isn't allowable, the Caps should then just try to sign who they can before the deadline and trade all UFAs that don't re-sign. Every single one of them.

10 days and counting. Not sure anyone wants anything we're selling, but hopefully we can find some dummies buyers!

I heard they can come in handy at the range on occasion...
