Former Bruins Dmitry Orlov

[goldnblack]

Be amazing to get either. Don't see how now.

You'd need to lose Gryz, Forbort, and maybe Swayman too?

 

[BruinDust]

Didnt know how good of a passer he was.

Very clean/hard passes


I would do 5 x 5 or 5.5m per

Tough decision though if it ends up between Orlov or Bertuzzi (can only sign one)

Trade Frederic and Carlo for assets then sign both.

You aren't saving thaaaaat much on Freddy's deal, and Carlo is arguably one of your better cap hits given how much term is left. Don't think that's the route.

he is no way taking a pay cut.

Depends what they would sign for.

No doubt other cap moves would have to be made.

But Brandon Carlo isn't even in the same class of D-man as Orlov. As hockey players go, I don't find them even close. I'll take Orlov at say 6 million a year any day of the week over Carlo at 4.5

Trent Frederic is getting a decent raise and he just finished his 2-year bridge. I really have no idea what Bertuzzi would take to re-sign.

 

[RiverbottomChuck]

He ends up in LA or Florida I think.

 

[rocketdan9]

I agree

But 5 x 5.5m per is not a paycut imo

If he can get more... what can you do

hes making over 5.1 now.

your original inluded a 5x 5 offer. That in fact is a paycut.

he wont sign for same.

 

[bruinmann77]

He really played very solid

 

[TheReal13Linseman]

Guy reminds me A LOT of Ray Bourque. Even resembles Ray a bit.

Ray was much, much, better but DO has been money for us so far.

 

[PlayMakers]

Playing amazing, but even if we had the money, you can't sign 32 year old UFA's to long-term deals.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

He frightened me a bit with some of high risk decision making at the end of the regular season but he’s been on point for the vast majority of this series. The most PRECISE passer we have on the back end.

 

[McGarnagle]

Imagine, if that shithead Jarmo didn't try to extort Sweeney and accepted some salary back in the Gavrikov deal we'd have missed out on this guy and Hathaway.

Just about everything going right for Don this year

I agree. The only way he stays is IF he takes a paycut, even if it means giving him an extra year. For now, I’m going to enjoy watching him

 

[Tbaybruin]

Sign Orlov. Hall, Forbort, Reilly gone

Today’s Globe:


Orlov has proven to be more of an asset than expected, especially in helping create offense. He made an alert feed to Jake DeBrusk on the 2-0 goal and has a 0-5–5 line in the four playoff games, only 2 points behind team leader Hall (4-3–7).

“He’s been outstanding,” said McAvoy, reflecting on what Orlov’s meant to the blue line six-pack. “Since the first moment we got him he’s been big, and I think the offensive side has been what’s surprising to me.

“He makes exceptional plays out there, not only in transition, breaking pucks out in the offensive zone too–and we’re all seeing it.”

Orlov, remember, came with a championship pedigree, having been with the Capitals for their 2018 Cup title.

“He’s someone who’s won before and when you bring someone in who’s won the value is hard to explain,” noted McAvoy. “He knows what it takes and he’s raised his game and we’re all better for it.”

By Montgomery’s eye, the Big Three “have dug in — they’ve led us.”

“They have the ability to control the game,” he added. “Especially when we have them split up like that. One of them is on the ice all game long, which is extremely comforting.”

Orlov, with traces of the legendary Ray Bourque in his game, arrived with a “swagger and confidence,” noted Montgomery, that was lacking before his arrival.

“And then the compete,” said an admiring Montgomery, “I mean, like, he digs in.”

And we all dig "em too!

Yah I would think Florida or Detroit

A GM who’s on the hot seat (Zito) or sick of losing (Yzerman) won’t care about years 5-8

 

[The Storm]

Lose Forbort, Clifton and Gryz. Bring up Lohrei.

Sign Orlov for god's sake!

There is also Mike Rielly and Anton Stralman that have some cap to shed.

 

[neelynugs]

supposedly wants between $7 & 8M per year. maybe a team is crazy enough to do that. would be nice
to get a pick for his rights similar to severson.

Early negotiation isn't worth much of anything, otherwise we'd see 50+ trades a month before FA.

And no one is giving Dima 8 seasons like Severson.
