I mean fuck it...why not. We were likely going to lose Orlov anyway - or WAY overpay him.
Hathy sucks to see go cause the guy brings energy and havoc, (but little else). He is well liked though. You wanted change....gonna lose some guys you like.
I would MUCH rather JQC have been healthy and we got a bag a pucks for him.
Did we really retain half Orlov's salary
. Oh, but it's only this year so who cares.
And now we now why McIlrath was moved up for a couple games.
It will be funny when we beat Boston in the first round of the playoffs this year.
