Orlov’s Surprising $13 Million Deal with Sharks: What This Means for the NHL Power Dynamics
Dmitry Orlov signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the San Jose Sharks on Thursday. It has an average annual value of $6.5 million.
The 33-year-old defenseman, who was an unrestricted free agent, had 28 points (six goals, 22 assists) in 76 regular-season games for the Carolina Hurricanes last season and four assists in 15 Stanley Cup Playoff games.
“Dmitry is a strong, two-way defenseman who brings physicality and versatility on the ice,” Sharks general manager Mike Grier said. “He has a wealth of NHL experience, both in the regular season and playoffs, and his Stanley Cup championship pedigree is a valuable addition to our team. We are happy to have him.”
