We lose the salary we gain a Dman. ;)

I would do that in a second! Unfortunately, Dylan is the chosen one and will retire in his Caps jersey....

Of these, Martinez a left handed D with 2yrs at 4mil is the best option for the Caps. The guy would be our best overall D by MILES. He also has two cups and is a proven playoff performer
SCOUTING REPORT
Is a strong, swift and well-balanced skater with two-way ability. Has solid puck-moving and passing skills, as well as defensive acumen. Usually keeps things simple and limits mistakes. Lacks consistency in terms of offensive production at the National Hockey League level. Is not overly physical, despite pretty decent size. Could stand to shoot the puck more.
The issue is, would we be able to offer enough to the Kings (ie Orlov, SeigyChrist), but more so would GMBM do it.

The only problem is that we need a right handed defenceman more than a lefty.

We need a defensive upgrade and a coaching staff upgrade.

Fair enough, but their is something to be said that Nisky and Jensen fell off the proverbial cliff when regularly paired with Orlov. While Johnny Norris has a career year while rarely being paired with him.
Given that, it’s reasonable that moving and upgrading Orlov would benefit the entire D
(In all honesty, one of the reasons I want Martinez is we haven’t had a Made In Detroit player since Schmidt, and I’d love to see him and Jensen repin the FatherCity for The Caps 🤣🤣)
