While it is not neccesary for the teams to have colluded on the matter (if they did make a trade with intent to buyout and then sign, itd be illegal), the following is true:
Brooks Orpik was originally signed by Washington to a 5.5m cap hit until July 1, 2019. Brooks Orpik is now signed by Washington to a 1m cap hit until July 1, 2019.
Is it a legal loophole to renegotiate a contract? Agreement between Colorado and Washington theories aside, should Brooks Orpik have even had the chance to sign again with Washington before July 1, 2019 (when his original contract would have ended)?
