Oh Sakic.....

The 2nd for Grubauer was more than fair

No need to take on Orpiks cap dump at the same time

The Avs intend to either trade Orpik and if they can't find a trade partner, they will probably buy him out... Colorado has already spoken to Grubauer's agent as well. He's RFA. Contract shouldn't be an issue.

Well now we know the Caps are going to resign Carlson. Good deal on Grubaur and Orpik was a salary dump

Solid deal by both. Orpik of the books allows Carlson resigning to be easier..

Works for both, Grubauer to Avs, space for Washington to bring back Carlson

I agree this one doesn’t hurt eaither side. Avs can deal with the cap hit one way or the other and get a goalie they needed bad.

This might be a deal that Colorado uses to make a better trade to Ottawa for Karlsson. Maybe Barrie or Johnson plus draft picks wouldn't cut the deal in Ottawa's eyes, but if they got a better proven veteran defenseman...

Joe seems to be taking the strategy of old. The less they say the more they are doing. If something they are working on hits the press they kill it.

Send Orpik to Phoenix where all old players go to die.
