Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway pen emotional goodbyes to Capitals: ‘I never thought this time would come’
The Washington Capitals made a huge decision on Thursday when they decided to part ways with two beloved players in Dmitry Orlov and Garnet Hathaway.
The trade of the two pending unrestricted free agents signified a change in direction for the team after they had lost five straight games in regulation and fallen out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture. It’s part of the business aspect of hockey but from a human perspective, it is still never easy seeing fan favorites leave and don another team’s jersey.
Both Orlov and Hathaway demonstrated that more personal side of the game as they penned emotional goodbyes to the Capitals organization.
