The CBA you quote does say "or until July 1st following his contract, which ever comes first "... which is when Orpik would be eligible..... So July 1st thus year or next year.... something for lawyers I guess.... No it's certainly this year July 1st. Meaning that the caps can resign him after the buyout as long as the avs do it before July 1st and the caps can only do it after July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Note to all players. Have your career year in your contract year. Good deal for now but could see it go sideways for last half of it. Price of doing business though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to re-read it, I guess since he's being bought out before July 1, then he becomes eligible to re-sign with anyone including the caps. My money is on Orpik signing a money deal where it tops him off to what his original salary is, so he'll make his buyout money plus the difference.

Coconuts Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 He was gonna get paid wherever he went, glad to see he stuck with the Caps. That extra year probably brought the average down. They had to pay him, he's a big piece for them. Now to see how long he continues to play at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 8 years ouch. Fair number though. I think GMs aren't scared of these contracts because they are usually working for a competing club by the second half of the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Green (for offence) Tanev is much better than any RHD left on the UFA list: https://www.capfriendly.com/browse/free-agents/2019/caphit/all/defense/ufa/desc/1/right I think we'll have to wait to see what Tavares decides but after that I could see TO making an offer for Tanev. They have to so something with that d group. That's going to take a helluva offer. Tanev is a very important piece of the puzzle development wise for the Canucks moving forward.

Probably not. And even if he would have, both Benning and Linden have stated they won't be targeting any of the 'big' free agents. We're not shopping on Robson this year. Think more Commercial Drive.

They can't go into next year with that defence and expect to do any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyCuddles Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 8 was definitely too much for my taste. Open market he could very likely ask for 8.5-9mil. He has two 50 point seasons in his career. I don't know if he has the past to warrant more than 7mil. Win a cup, have a near 70 point season, cash in. Why not? Your name is on the cup. Get paid. He does eat a ton of minutes. Near a 25 minute player. 48% ozone starts. He's a great top 2 guy. We'll see how this deal looks as the Caps get older and slower. Which you have to imagine happens eventually. Ovi finally got his cup, it'll be interesting to see how he responds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager he has little desire to continue wasting his prime on a team that likely will only start to sniff playoffs again after his current contract is up. I'd also imagine he'd likely jump at the chance to head out East, closer to home, with less travel and a more open game. He could theoretically bring a nice return now/at the TDL before more injuries devalue him further too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamJamIam Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Good for Carlson. I've been singing his praises for what seems like nearly a decade. The cap is going up so this isn't him getting too greedy or the Capitals getting too stupid either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
