thejazz97 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 VAN sends: Chris Higgins (F) WSH sends: Dmitry Orlov (D) 3rd Rd. Draft Pick, 2015 It gives Washington their much-needed winger, and us a much-needed depth defenseman. Also, a 3rd round pick, which we currently do not have for this year. Thoughts?

Odd. Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 That is a deal that could work for both teams. We'd need to trade a defenseman after though because we would have way to many d-man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I reckon you would be (very) hard pressed to get Orlov for Higgins. Mike Green's replacement next year. 23 years old, 31 points in a 120 odd games. Good target though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Does Washington need a winger though, particularly a left winger? They already have Ovi of course, who can swap to either wing, but then on the left they also have Johanssen and Burakovski as better options for their top six. On the right wing they have Ward and Brouwer and the young Wilson, and they'd surely like to upgrade on those options in their top six, but I don't think Higgins is clearly better than those two. They could be interested in him as a bottom 6 option over someone like Chimera, but I don't think they'd be willing to pay the price of Orlov plus a pick to do so since this could well be Green's last season in Washington. Then again, Orlov hasn't played this season after surgery in the summer to correct a wrist injury suffered at the World Championships, so not as sure why we'd take a chance on him if they're willing to give up on him.
