The New Jersey Devils have only five defensemen under contract for 2022-23, with Ryan Graves and Damon Severson expected to depart via free agency. Would it be smart to target Dmitry Orlov?
Dmitry Orlov recently enjoyed a prolific, abbreviated campaign with the Boston Bruins. The long-time Washington Capitals blueliner scored 17 points in 23 games in Beantown en route to establishing a new career-high in points this season with 36. Perhaps most important is Orlov’s playoff production, as he scored eight points in seven games in Boston’s first-round exit. To put the cherry on top, Orlov won the Stanley Cup with Washington in 2018.
