Dmitry Orlov, a veteran NHL defenseman, signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the San Jose Sharks after his tenure with the Carolina Hurricanes. He was advised by Brent Burns about the Sharks' organization, helping him understand the team's direction. Orlov noted the chance to play a significant role in a younger team was appealing. Despite having a strong record of playoff appearances, including a Stanley Cup win, he felt a change was necessary after struggled performances in the playoffs with Carolina, particularly against the Florida Panthers.
"Every year in your life, you have to learn something, (whether) it's off ice, on ice, or different things in the world. For sure, I'm excited for that."
"He gave me good advice about the organization, so it kind of helped me out to understand what's going on."
