The Boston Bruins landed defenseman Dmitry Orlov and forward Garnet Hathaway in a trade with the Washington Capitals to bolster their roster prior to the NHL trade deadline with a Stanley Cup run in mind. 

Boston is sending forward Craig Smith and its 2023 first-round pick, a 2025 second-round pick and a 2024 third-round pick in exchange for Orlov and Hathaway. 

"We would like to thank Dmitry and Garnet for their contributions to our organization," Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said in a press release. 

"Dmitry has been with our organization for almost 14 years and was a key contributor in helping us win the Stanley Cup in 2018. Garnet has been an important part of our team and a role model off the ice for his contributions to our community. We wish both players all the best with Boston.

"This trade allows us to acquire draft capital, infuse youth and restock our system. While this season has proven challenging with injuries to our significant players, we are in a position to use some of our current assets to retool our club and build a competitive team moving forward."

With the trade, the Capitals now own six picks in the 2023 NHL Draft, including two first-rounders.
