Looking forward to Saturday to watching how Orlov fits in, DS did well getting him. I also look forward to trashing Hathaway like I did when he was on the Caps!
This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen
I get it. Just wish he hadn’t said it.
Orlov plays both sides, PK, PP and hits. Instant upgrade. Ask yourself this if you dislike Hathaway. Would the B's have had a better chance against the Blues in 2019 with a player of his ilk in our bottom six?

I think if we can come to a conclusion which player remaining we despise the most, it would be for the ideal final depth move.
Jaffe just said Hathaway is a natural right shot which is huge for us
Hathaway is a good fit. Exactly what this team needs in the bottom-6. Big right shot RW. Hits a ton. Kills penalties. Scores at ES.
Blueline looks scary with Orlov. Another two-way threat. Has to be the best 1 through 7 in the league?

We just gave up another 3 draft picks- including a first rounder again- for filler players. Thumbs down.

If my hometown in Ontario was any indication quite a few things anyway.
I believe we invented Ecoli. Have to check on that one.

Love this move. Give me this D corps against any other in the league.
Hathaway is an asshole, but now he’s our asshole. Upgrade to the bottom six.
Would love to see one more trade for a middle six forward who can go up and down the lineup in the event of a top six injury.
They’re going for it. Now or never.

That makes the Merlot line look like grape Juicy Juice. That's a Cabernet Sauvignon line. Heavy bodied and bold.

It will be interesting. I don't like Hathaway. I hope he wins me over but for now...dirty is not tough..

We're Touched
Orlov hasn't really played the right side in basically a decade. He came up in juniors and minors as a RD, but the Caps converted him to LD and he's pretty much stuck to that side ever since.
Can Orlov play the PP? Yes. But he also really hasn't done it as a primary duty in the NHL. This is in large part because of the Capitals PP scheme wanting a RD at the point (allowing a natural one-timer and forehand feed to Ovechkin at the left circle), combined with the fact the Capitals have had guys like Carlson, Green, Shattenkirk, Niskanen, and now Gustaffson contending for PP time. So Orlov has largely only received garbage PP time as part of PP2 or when other guys were hurt/serving penalties/etc.
Every Caps fan is going to miss Orlov. He was a pillar on our defense for a long time. Orlov-Niskanen was our shutdown pairing when we won the Cup in 2018. He's a huge open-ice hitter (search up his hits on YouTube and grab some popcorn). He's got good hands and will occasionally dazzle you with a deke thru the entire opposing team. He's got a huge shot and huge frame. But he's also having his weakest season in a while, and subjectively it looks like his first step is a lot more tentative since returning from injury. I wouldn't necessarily expect him to be a dominating first pairing presence with McAvoy. Nor would I be willing to give him the 6 year deal he's reportedly looking for. But he could be a realiable 2nd pairing defensive stalwart and PKer who provides occasional bursts of additional play as you guys go deep in the playoffs.
??? Are the Bs done dealing? Do they still try to upgrade at F? Perhaps use a D to do it? Thoughts.

If we’re drawing comparison to old-school heels, I think Marchand is our Ric Flair, and Hathaway is more like Honky Tonk Man.
