Orlov fits that same bill, imo.. He's WAY overpaid and if they "could" move him, I think they would. He offers jack shit really. He's below avg in the offensive zone and he's not a shut down D.. And he makes like 6.5 million a year. That some expensive hip checks, twice a month.. :clown: :poop:

Exactly. He’s closing on 30 and hasn’t developed to a top level D he was signed as, (which is another issue all together)

Dillon is a great pick up. That's who I wanted GMBM to get and glad he did. We had the toughest team in the league before this and now we've added more grit. We'll be a tough team to play in the playoffs as much as you haters don't want to admit it. Try watching other teams. Everyone has weaknesses. For all you Kuznetsov haters out there give your head a shake. We've struggled mightily without him and much as you don't want to admit it. The guy should have won the Conn Smyth when we won the cup. They gave it to Ovie because the league wants their superstars to get the recognition. Same reason Crosby won when Kessel should have.

For his cap hit, we could have 2, maybe 3 centers to result in just as many points, and way less mistakes, turnovers, face off losses, as we got for the EA level contract we gave Suzy.
Sure Suzy will help Ovie get 900 more than Bergeroin, Larkin, Kopitar, or Toews might. But on no fuckin planet that has anything more than a 12yo CoEd rec league is Suzy any where near the level of any of them
Suzy is here for Ovies record, not for Cups. If the Caps only wanted Cups, they’d of spent the cap space better

BTW, can you make it Saturday?

Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment for Saturday but thanks for asking.

I read on RMNB that the Caps may be interested in bringing Green back. :huh: I'm hoping this is just BS being floated by somebody with no knowledge. Green is EXACTLY the type of guy we do NOT need. He doesn't even have any offensive skills left to speak of. (10 points, -30 +/-) I'd much rather have Jensen and that's saying something. I also don't think Siegenthaler should be scratched for Dillon. I'd sit Jensen, Orlov or Kempny ahead of him.
