This could be a hockey version of the Mike Bordick deal the Orioles pulled off in 2000. Basically, he was at the end of his contract, so they traded him to the Mets for Melvin Mora and crap. He got a chance at a WS (though he lost) and immediatly resigned with the Orioles that offseason. Mora is now the starting 3B, and led the AL in batting much of last year.
Sounds like a good plan if it's what the Caps intend to do.
