Hours after they announced that both players would be held out for trade reasons, the Washington Capitals sent Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway to the Boston Bruins on Thursday.
In return, the Capitals received Craig Smith, a 2023 first-round pick, a 2024 third-round pick and a 2025 second-round pick.
The Minnesota Wild also announced they received a 2023 fifth-round pick and will retain 50% of Orlov's salary. The signing rights to Andrei Svetlakov went to Boston.
A pair of pending unrestricted free agents, Orlov and Hathaway provide more depth for the Bruins, who entered Thursday with the best record in the NHL at 43-8-5 while also having a plus-92 goal differential.
