What the heck does it actually take for this team to win it? My guess is not having to face Pittsburgh. |

second time poster, long time reader, just wanted to say you're the most entertaining part of Hockeybuzz and the reason why most people come to this site. I appreciate your analytic, numbers based perspective which most rip on you for; what I think many forget is that numbers do not guarantee the future but they allow for prediction of the likelihood and potential chance of events occurring in the game we know and love. Respect and keep pushing the truth. |

And an added benefit to ridding ourselves of Orpik's cap is we also rid ourselves of his terrible play.
A Spring-time 2 for 1! |

Indeed... couple his horrible play along with his huge salary, and that's JUST what every other NHL team is looking for !
Bidding should be pretty high, LOL... maybe a 12th round draft pick and a career ECHL player can seal the deal. |

I see Tanner has a second account...
The real problem is you are trying to build a championship team around Ovie and Holtby. That's just not going to cut it.
It's funny that they have probably their best player in Backstrom on a great contract but they have just overpaid so many other guys. Crazy to think Orpik only makes $1.2M less than Backstrom. And Orlov makes $1.6M less. Ouch. |

James, Ovie's having another awesome year, tied for first in goals. Caps, despite the holes, are in a good spot as it stands.
Why not a little glass half full outlook?
Yeah they're leaning heavily on certain players, but still.
The Coyotes get a ton of love despite being dead last, why not do something similar for the Caps? |

Probably not, but they're in a good spot right now. They don't have a lot of wiggle
room, but they're tied for first in the division so something's working as of right now/ |

Orlov would be the second best defensemen on the Pens. |
