Former Bruins Dmitry Orlov

[rocketdan9]

Filthy move

 

[13Hockey]

According to Caps fans Orlov was looking for 6 years on his next deal, Caps mgmt looking for closer to 3.

Not sure how thats gonna work for the Bruins if they talk extension. Wouldn't want to go more than 4 but if hes looking for 6 that means a much higher AAV to convince him to go 4 years.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

5 years 6 mill per

Feels like what where looking at if we want to keep him

Would require a lot of maneuvering to make it work

Pasta first before that deal.

Honestly never thought the Bs would bring in a D player of Orlov's caliber before the deadline. Sick move.

With the additions of Orlov and Hathaway nobody around these parts is going to be complaining much about the lack of hitting.

When is the last time the Bruins had a legitimate Russian player? Samsonov?

I think he’s a rental and that’s more than fine

100% good d depth for a long cup run

He’s going to play 22-24 minutes a night

lets just get him to learn the system first

Seems a little too rich for us. Donny probably wants something like 4x$4.5M.

i love gavrikov, but orlov is considerably better. and he's the #3 here

That’s where I’m at exactly, ‘nugs.

Orlov was listed as a possibility, but I dismissed it. Bigger cap hit. A core player for the Caps who are in a battle for the playoffs. Plus, he’s just too damn good and a bit of a pipe dream.

His cap hit for us is now less than Gavrikov - at a cost that was less than I was willing to give up for Gavrikov.

Orlov could play with any of our guys on either side and make that pair better. I’m still in shock honestly. I can’t wait to see this team live.

The beautiful thing about Orlov is that he was the hardest working player on the Caps. He should fit right in with the Bs in terms of work ethic. Also has a Cup, so he brings that angle as well. Been there and knows what it's like.

I'm with you -- somewhat in shock. Didn't think as big a fish as Orlov was possible as a deadline addition for the Bs. Much more than the simple depth D add that I was expecting, and would have been perfectly fine with.

This offseason- Im extending orlov and dealing gryz or Carlo or both.

 

[NDiesel]

Nice to see a Russian join the squad, very excited for him to win the cup with us

 

[BlackFrancis]

With Orlov, baldy on the bench has quite a spread available now. He can sit Forbort and let Orlov handle heavy PK minutes. He can sit Grzelcyk for Orlov, who does a lot of Grzelcyk's retrieval/transition stuff really well himself. Thinking quickly, he can deploy a frankly terrifying transition focused group or a bigger, grinding bunch.

This dude is just perfect for this team. Right there with Seidenberg's fit for the '11 champions, though that was a matter of delayed awesomeness.

 

[danpantz]

I have been a fan of this guy for years. Even if it’s just a rental I’m so happy to have him here.

Sneaky skilled. When he first broke into the league I remember him embarrassing forwards who challenged him at the blue line with his hands.

Oh and he can hit too. Love it.

khokhlachev but clode didn’t know he was good

Clode doesn´t like Russians.

I think Chistov was the last legit Russian, although he played under the legit worst coach Dave Lewis.

 

[Ladyfan]

Welcome to Boston Dmitry. I am looking forward to watching you fit in.

 

[UConn126]

When is the last time the Bruins had a legitimate Russian player? Samsonov?

Khodobin?

 

[McGarnagle]

Khodobin?

Dobby was born in what is now Kazakhstan, but is ethnically Russian and represented Russia in international play, so I'll give it to him.

Last good Russian skater though, probably Stan Chistov in 06-07. Before him it was Samsonov.

I like his ability to play RD in addition to LD though Bruins love their D playing on their strong sides.

Neither did the rest of the NHL.

think I`d focus on a 2 year deal with Hathaway, lock in a bottom 6 guy if Foligno isn`t in the plans, leaves more money for those they need to sign and bonuses

It pushes everyone down into lesser roles which is huge
