Glad the Flames didn't get him (short of it being a 1-2 year contract).
Just not very good.

Damn. Flames need a shut down dman. Hopefully through trade then, because not much left.

He will help them out on the back end. All I can think of is that gif of the game where ovechkin just doesn't back check

Chuck one out of D wanted list. I think Okpik would be a good fit for the Flames short term.

Orpik and Fayne were the two I would have wanted. Both gone. Not much left on the FA market. I think the Flames go the trade route for their shut down dman.

Capitals gave Orpik a five-year, $27.5 million deal. Wow.

That is crazy term and money.

Wow, that's crazy. He'll be pushing 39 by the time that deal ends. I'm sorry, but that's a brutal signing by the Caps.

Takes him to age 39 (a late 39).
Just not good. That's why the Flames should stay away.
