It is not news at this point that the Carolina Hurricanes signed Dmitry Orlov to a 2 year contract. There was a ton of hype around this signing, but unless your have been watching the Washington Capitals regularly, you may not have an expectation, or have an expectation with no basis. So, objectively, what can we expect?
In short, not the same offensive production as Brent Burns, or the same number of games played, but some good defense and a bulk of his time on ice should be in 5 on 5 situations or shorthanded.
