I'm interested to see the result of the the Marcus Johannson arbitration hearing on the 20th of July.
The Capitals only have about $8.0M in cap space and they also need to re-sign Dmitry Orlov (who did not file for arbitration). If Johannson's arbitrated salary eats up too much of that $8.0M, it will be interesting to see which of the two RFA's they opt to keep.
If he is jettisoned by the Capitals, Orlov could be a viable candidate for the additional D-man that Treliving is reportedly looking to add.
