Report: Orpik's camp has had discussions with Capitals

Brooks Orpik's time with the Washington Capitals might not be over after all.

The 37-year-old's camp has spoken to a number of teams regarding a new contract, including the Capitals, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Orpik was dealt along with goaltender Philipp Grubauer to the Colorado Avalanche just ahead of last weekend's draft. Following the deal, the Avalanche bought out the final year of his five-year, $27.5-million contract.

If both sides are to come to terms on a new deal, it's likely to be on a contract with an annual average under $5.5 million - the cap hit of Orpik's previous contract.

During the last four seasons with the Capitals, Orpik has scored three goals and 53 points over 279 games.
