Capitals TRADE Dmitry Orlov to Boston Bruins: Who Won The Deal?

B’s are all in, love the trade, Sweeneys been crushing it since the hall trade

Orlov isn’t a rental. The Bs will lose two top centers if they win it all. Wouldn’t you go out on top? That will give them cap space to sign Orlov.

Caps going for the tank. Your boy Kane on the Rangers stop the Bruin train.

Boston ....if Toronto can do it we can too...call Minnesota....

I have to give Sweeney credit, he did an excellent job. Acquired 2 players that can step in and contribute, he was able to trade Craig Smith and his $3+ million salary, and had both Washington (50%) and Minnesota (25%) each eat salary for each player which resulted in the Bruins actually freeing up $600k in cap space. He was able to do this without having to disrupt the current roster or give up any of the limited prospects the B's have in their system.

Orlov is a nasty defensemen and really is a good pickup

I think Bruins need Meier or another top forward to he honest.

bRuins win the trade, because they're ready to win the cup at this point. A Massachusetts team is fed with good players, something we've already seen 16 years ago in another top league

I would say Boston because their a strong team

As a life-long fan of the Bruins (over 3 decades), I like this trade. I HATED Hathaway, but I'm thrilled he's a Bruin. I really hope Sweenius can retain one, if not both, of these guys for future seasons.

Why are you not mentioning the Minnesota Wild part of this trade?

😮

Love this trade for both teams

Solid trade

Great breakdown of the trade! I have a spirts Podcast called the sports Blitz we talk about everything Boston Sports. First time I've seen your Pod really good man.

Love these moves by Bruins

Цепь ошибочных трейдов продолжается. Победы начнутся, когда владельцы команды поймут, что проблема в главном тренере, а не игроках.

Bruins can’t stop Canes. Canes can’t stop Rangers.

So the Leafs continue to ignore its defense woes and its goalie needs while Taveras is now being pencilled in as its shutdown center (totally laughable) ... meanwhile the Bruins focus on tightening up it lineup for a long playoff run.

Wtf. Caps want the bruins to win the cup

A defenceman known for his crushing hits will find a spot in Boston still Carolina's gonna feed them a juicy L like they did last season

I love the toughness the Bruins get. Washington get draft picks but I still think they got fleeced.

Bruins

Has to be said, the Leafs and Lightning are the co-losers of this deal, for now

You fail to even mention the 3rd team in the deal or any of the salary cap retention, not a good vid

In short term, definitively Bruins, in long term? Capitals. Lets not forget that also Bruins going to need draft picks for first and second round. Because David Krejci mostl likely playing his last season not only in NHL but also in whole career, same goes for Bergeron. Whole organization going to be rebuilded and if they failed to reach Stanley Cup this season, its going to be to big price. Also there is no certainty that they will re-sign Orlov, since Bruins still did not re-signed Pastrnak.

As far as Sweeney goes; apparently the blind squirrel can find a nut eventually.

Hey Now! The Bruins are a force! A slugfest vs the Keaken. 6-5 road win in a back and forth battle throughout! Swayman letting in 5 goals was A okay as he made some incredible saves to keep the B’s in a position to pull out the win!!! Pasta keeps rolling

I really like this trade for Boston with regards to helping out this year. Hathaway has always played well against Boston, he plays hard and has enough skill to fit in. Orlov is also just what they need.

Great trade for both teams. Boston's Achille's heel has been physical play in the playoffs and this is what Orlov and Hathaway bring. And Grav is right : who the heck is gonna stop this Bruins team?

Love it! GO Bruins! 💛🖤🐻

i think they both won in diffrent ways

Great deal. Bruins get their guys without selling the farm and the Caps make a smart business decision and recoup assets in a tough market. It’s always the guys we hated the most that end up making the perfect Bruins 😂. The fans will love these guys and we’ll take good care of em, can’t wait to see them in the spoked B!

Marchand - Bergeron - DeBrusk/Pastrnak
Zacha/Hall - Krejci/Zacha - Pastrnak/DeBrusk
Hall/Zacha/DeBrusk - Coyle/Zacha - Frederic/Foligno
Foligno/Greer/Frederic - Nosek/Foligno /Frederic - Hathaway/Foligno/Frederic

Orlov/Grzelyck/Lindholm - McAvoy
Lindholm/Orlov/Grzelyck- Carlo/Orlov
Forbort/Grzelyck - Clifton/Carlo/Orlov

Ullmark
Swayman

My point: Your lineup flexibility is absolutely silly.

It's 1000% a good trade for both teams.

It’s simple if the Bruins win the Cup with the their acquired rentals, then they won the trade. If the Bruins fall short of the Cup, the Caps won the trade acquiring future draft picks adding to the Caps getting two 1st round picks this coming draft and clearing up cap space to potentially acquire Chychrun. If that’s the case the Caps will definitely have to give up one of their 1sts to make a deal for Chychrun.

Орёл 🔝✊❗️🤌Маршанду привет передай 😬😂😉😅🤜🤛

Bruins basically got Hathaway free.

They gained a ton of toughness for the playoffs. Prior to this trade I feel they were behind Carolina if they had to play them in a 7 game series. And yes both Hathaway and Orlov fit the Boston system perfectly

Stop the rotating board advertisements, it’s absolutely brutal!

im happy, but idk who the bruins are going to replace in the defense core

Caps get a few draft picks and the Bs get a top-4 defenseman and a sorely needed gritty, physical bottom-six forward in a cup-or-bust season? Yes, the Bs win this trade.

The bruins and if anyone says otherwise you don't watch the caps play. At least not right now. Sure we've just beat the rangers but the lack of youth that we play with. To get draft picks for two big players in our team... Is shocking, keep hearing oh we got a bruins first pick. That's great where are the bruins going to finish this year, exactly...

Yeah Boston now is going to be extra hard now

As a Caps fan it's a necessary move and I hope there's more moves like it with the deadline coming.
The team desperately needs either a rebuild or atleast a big shake up if they're going to be back amongst the top tier teams in the league and that begins with young talent and draft picks. They can pick up prospects and draft picks now while some of their older players still have value, I hope they take advantage.

Orlov great playoff pick up, and maybe staying. Hathaway is home and has always wanted to be a bruin

Bruins win. A bird in the hand... known entities. Rather bet on roster players over draft pick wannabes that teams have to toilet train for 2+ years.

B's might be the only team where the GM and president are both hockey players.

Sweeney's finally getting the respect he deserves. He's a competitor-if he doesn't get a play right, he adjusts until he gets it right.

And he trusts the players' voices and vision.
Because he was one.

Hathaway was born to be a Bruin

Orlov 9 points in 5 games for Boston. Not bad for def..

I would feel better about the Bruins playoff chances if they picked up Connor McDavid.

Who do you think wins this deal?
