Marcus Johansson and the #caps settled before arbitration, per sources. He gets a three-year, $13.75M deal -- $4.583M AAV.

According to general fanager, the caps have less than $3.5 million to re-sign Orlov right now with 13 forwards, 6 d-men and 2 goalies signed.

Orlov is important to that team.

What a disappointing post-season from the Caps. Truly though, they have a well built team and they don't need to tweak it. Go all in again this season, and honestly, I'm rooting for them.*

*Unless, of course, the Flames make the SCF

So probably a one year deal for Orlov then?

I don't really understand why they went after Lars Eller
