The Washington Capitals have traded defenseman Dmitry Orlov and fourth liner Garnet Hathaway to the Boston Bruins, the team announced Thursday. In return, the Bruins are sending their 2023 first-round pick, 2025 second-round pick, 2024 third-round pick, and veteran winger to Washington. The Capitals are retaining 50% of Orlov’s salary in the deal, and the Minnesota Wild are retaining another 20% in exchange for Boston’s 2023 fifth-round draft pick to keep the Bruins cap compliant.
An hour before the trade was made official, the team had announced that both Orlov and Hathaway would be held out from tonight’s game against the Ducks due to trade-related reasons.
