--- Quote from: waynerivers on Wednesday March 01, 2023, 01:36:04 PM Eastern ---After the fire sale we'll still have Mantha, Carlson, Backstrom, Oshie and probably Kuz so lots more to be done. I see Orlov had 2 goals and an assist last night. He's one guy I would have liked to have seen stay.

One of the things I’ve read about Orly is he wanted six more years plus the pay raise, that’s more than this team can afford. But yea, I’d prefer him over Carlson at this point.

I like all the moves so far. I think at last count we now have 14 draft pics over the next 3 year.........

I do like that we are moving pending FA's off our roster and actually getting something for them. It did suck to see Orlov go, but I agree the Caps were never going to be able to afford him, so it's good we got something for him.
Eller - meh, not sure if he would've stayed or not, but doubt the Caps could really afford to pay him what he may fetch in FA - or that he is ultimately worth it. I'd rather lose all these guys and get something in return as opposed to losing them in FA anyway - or worse yet, pay WAY TOO much for them. Same goes for Hathy, and MOJO. Although a guy like Mojo especially, I could see him re-signing with the Caps next year for a reasonable salary, unless someone throws stupid money at him (or he really has a desire to win a cup). I could see Hathy coming back too. All depends on $$ I guess. But who knows...maybe they don't mind leaving a team in decline for greener pastures and more money.
I would like to keep Sheary at a reasonable salary. He hasn't scored alot, but he is Mr Hustle on every shift.
And I am actually a bit surprised. It's overdue and greatly needed, but somehow I figured we might just keep sticking to the same ole shit year after year.
Now all we need is to win another generational player with one of these newfound pics.
