Production from Dmitry Orlov and Tony DeAngelo has not been as expected. The “777 pairing” has just 2 goals for the season and a combined 13 points. Brady Skjei, for comparison, has 2 goals and 12 points as just half of his line. When will Orlov and DeAngelo start producing as promised? That is up to them. It does not appear that matching them with other Hurricanes does anything put pull the other player down. Which leads me to be fairly convinced the “lack of buy in” talk is aimed squarely at this particular pair. And dare I say it, 1/2 of it.
Production from “777” Pairing Could Be Sign Of “Buy In” Issues
